H40GC Temotu News 3 October 2017

First 2 days I worked only on 160/80/40 meters with 160/80/40 m Vertical, but since yesterday I lift the antena for all other bands!!!
The antennas are OK and worked perfect.
Next days, I will make more QSOs.
Please radio amateurs to be patiently, because I am alone here.
There is enough time and I hope to do many QSOs and to give a New One of many people.
The Internet is the problem here, but I use the internet from the local disaster office! ( half hour per a day )
The another problem is that electricity is stoped from time to time ( any days) per a 3-4 hours.
