Update to 3 July:
I’ve setup my triband dipole in the camping and I can currently works on 20 meters band with an acceptable SWR.
Propagation during the day is very poor but get increasing starting from 17.00 GMT, and during all sunset time.
Done interesting contacts into Europe, with some countries difficult to get from my home QTH on 14 mhz.

“Unfortunately” family tasks, don’t let me stay on air as I would… HI.

Will continue my activities till 7th July.
QSL route: via bureau.
