Arrived in LT1F and preparing everything for the LUCG 10th Anniversary
We arrived in LT1F around midnight with LU1AEE, LU7ACW, LU8ADX and I. Carlos LU1FKR, Lucas LU1FAM, Juan Pablo LU4DX, Eugenio LU4FLJ were waiting for us with the BBQ ready right on time! It was nice to meet our friends again. We haven’t met since the last 2010 ARRL DX CW in February. Earlier during the day I received a phone call from Geo LW4EU, confirming he was attending too. At arrival we saw a big tent rented by LU1FKR for the talks that Adrian LU1CGB and Ezequiel LU1FDU will conduct regarding Earth-Moon-Earth and Antenna design respectively. Two IP cammeras are already connected and broadcasting video in real time so that, the team members overseas can watch the event on the internet.
Over 80 confirmed attendees to the LUCG aniversary party.!
Diego LU8ADX has confirmed that over eighty team members will attend next Saturday at LT1F’s atenna farm. Diego, together with Fabian LU1AEE and Juan Pablo LU8ADX have organized the event taking every possible detail into account. On the other hand Karl LU1FKR owner of LT1F, Lucas LU1FAM and other buddies have helped with the logistics on-site.
Considering the LUCG has over 240 members in total, spreaded accross a vast territory the attendance rate is very high!! Members located over 1000 miles away from Rosario will attend!! Though this is the 10th aniversary of the Group, this is the second meeting we’ve had in ten years, but people are already asking for a repeat.
We really look forward to meeting all friends next Saturday. Most of them have never ever met in person, though they surely have made lots of Qs among them. We want to thank in advance Karl LU1FKR (LT1F) for hosting this meeting, Diego LU8ADX (AY8A) , Fab LU1AEE, Juan Pablo LU4DX (AY4D), Luc LU1FAM (LO2F), Bob LU2FA (LR2F) and many others for making this happen.
