KONG46 - Day One

So, it's that time of the year again. The FM antennas have been disconnected and my three RSPdx tucked away for the winter. Time to fire up the big guns - beverage antennas and Perseus SDRs.

Antenna deployment usually starts around August 25, but due to other appointments it's been delayed until this weekend. OJ Sagdahl and Ole Forr arrived from Andøya Thursday afternoon after a long drive, and we had to hurry a bit to get Mount Loran setup done before darkness.

That done, time for dinner! Home made fish soup with a little spicy bite, with some Lervig Supersonic double dry-hopped DIPA, probably the best beer in the world at the moment.

Friday will see more antenna deployment and maintenance. 

Weather: Cloudy as you can see from the pictures below but very mild for the time of year. Friday may reach up to 20 Celsius.
