[Elecraft] Operating in Rome,Italy... Pointers?

[vze25j84 at verizon.net]

Hi folks,

It looks like the K2 and I will get a free trip to Rome (the one in Italy) sometime soon courtesy of the employer. 

I have never operated in Europe before and would like some insights and tips you might have.

I will have power (220 and 120 VAC) and some room for a small antenna on a rooftop at our location. I own a Shakespeare AT-1011U 32 foot vertical but it's heavy and clumsy to travel with and needs a substantial mount.  I can easily send some 20 foot crappie poles along and find a way to secure them. The K2 has the ATU installed so it will tune just about anything.

I'd appreciate technical tips, but I'm also desperate for operating advice.

I could be leaving in a few days or a few weeks. Please share what you know.

Thanks in advance!

73,

Lonnie
