Because of lack of operators we decided to skip 70cm completely and went for a smooth microwave operation. Saturday the wheather was vy fb on the hill. 5 degree in the valley but >15 degree celcius uphill. We faced almost no rain during the complete time. Unfortunately Mr. Murphy was always present this time. 13cm went off saturday evening and could be only repaired sunday morning. 3cm/1.2cm had a short in the DC supply when turning the mast over a certain angle. We only operated these directions by turning the complete mast around 180degree.
