''The team is doing well despite some difficulties with the antenna setup on the hotel roof. The antenna locations are not as originally planned, but we are doing our best to be active on as many bands as possible at the same time.

Our current setup consists of one Hexbeam with limited height, along with verticals for 30m and 40m. Setting up an 80m antenna is quite challenging due to the restricted space, but we will do our best to make some QSOs this evening.

We are continuously checking propagation to reach all regions, so please be patient.

The hotel management is very concerned about the visual impact of the antennas, so meeting their requirements is a priority for us, especially for future expeditions.''
