Re: ARLA/CLUSTER: ILLW 2015 mostra um forte compromisso da comunidade radioamadorisrica mundial para com os faróis

[Sérgio Rasteiro - CR7AJS]

Não sei ainda como foram as restantes estações, mas a equipa da ARRLx,
PT-0015/Cabo da Roca/CS5LX/p, conseguiu uns impecáveis 427 contactos, 57
entidades DXCC (muita Europa é verdade, mas quase toda a América do sul da
costa atlântica, Porto Rico, Cuba e USA) e a equipa ainda teve tempo para
salutar convivio, almoços\jantares e duas noites completas de sono =)

Sei que quase todos os participantes portugueses estiveram muito activos
com vários spots pelos clusters (uns mais que outros). Parabéns a todos e
com desejos que se repita por muitos e largos anos tais actividades =)


Quanto ao "meu ILLW":
Foi muito gratificante participar, especialmente enquanto CR7 e ter
oportunidade de poder gerir alguns pequenos pile-ups. Muito agradeço a
ajuda e ensinamentos dos colegas CT7AGN e CT2IXQ que estiveram presentes ao
longo de todo o fim-de-semana.
