Unfortunately, my holiday schedule is sort of screwed for '06 ( A week in the north of England in June, and a week in Valencia in October )
If it was over a weekend, I could probably do Madrid though - it would be nice to visit a DSN station, and Easyjet rules  Doug |

Wow, Philip. What a view!
I would like to be there, but I was sick in the last month (leg issue). Anyway, did you asked about main antenna maintenance? When she will return fully operative? -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

dilo, the replacement of the oil-film on which the huge antenna rests remains an issue as it puts the 70-meter antenna out for a couple of days... for more details, contact me off-forum

Interesting does UMSF really plan a REAL meeting for the 2007 summer, maybe we have to start a separate topic on this
Deutschland would be O.K.
