This is "Madamen" who was supposed to take us over to Latvia... | ||
Sunshine and calm... | ||
Eric/SM1TDE is hanging up an antenna for 80 m. When he pushed down the key the boats autopilot went crazy and the boat begun to go in circles :-) | ||
8 hours later... The Pavilosta harbor. | ||
We kept us clean... | ||
...had something to drink... | ||
...and ate a little bit... Eric/SM1ALH says YAMMY... | ||

We did some sight-seeing also. Here is a pile of wood.... | ||
...and here is a soviet VLF station ( 10-20 kHz ). A number of 200 m high towers were around the site. | ||
Here is the tower base... | ||
...and this is the transmitter building, looks like a bunker. | ||
Stork is common in Latvia. | ||
Some houses needed some paint.... | ||
....like this one. | ||
This house needs more than paint ! | ||
The beach in Liepaja is many km long. Unfortunately the weather was poor all days we were in Latvia. | ||
But the poor weather could not keep Eric/SM1ALH from taking a dip. | ||
