> It's been four days since Marek started his trafficking. Upon his arrival,
> the location planned for the station had to be changed due to a problem
> with the building's air conditioning making it impossible to operate there.
> Another more cramped air-conditioned room was found, modifying the initial
> antenna installation plan with difficulties in optimizing the choice of
> locations in view of the structures present...
> 
> Today Marek was able to complete the installation of the second Hexbeam
> SP6CYN, so for the moment there are two Hexbeams, a vertical from 40 to
> 10m, a vertical 30m, and the 5 element beam 6m, remaining the verticals
> 160 /80m to be assembled soon.
> 
> Two stations are active as planned, some electrical problems have been
> reported with the inverters, resulting in some temporary outages, as
> well as interference linked to equipment external to our installations,
> which is being resolved and a problem with an amplifier.
> 
> For the logs, they are posted online every day, either the morning or
> evening following the previous day's traffic. For all requests, contact
> who is responsible for checking and possibly
> validating the requests. As of May 26, more than 16,000 QSOs, the dupe
> rate is decreasing.

> His activity is intensive, which he carries out in Spartan conditions
> at the station, which is also his workplace and place to sleep with
> very little sleep.
> 
> We receive various requests for low bands, 6m, RTTY.... We ask the
> community to be patient, the operation has just started, it will last
> three weeks, as a reminder Marek is alone and cannot respond to all
> requests, the priority is immediately to ATNO, the time to resolve
> our last technical problems.
> 
> Our pilots are starting to give us feedback in order to direct traffic
> more precisely to satisfy the greatest number of OMs.
