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.
