for microwave radioamateurs

Last weekend in April-May, I went out to check the functionality of the 3 cm band. After about half an hour, I found that very weak beacon OK0ET. Indeed, after a while listening to other lighthouses realize that something is wrong. Despite this, I made several connections to Moravia and Slovakia, but it was thanks to strong MS. On Sunday I took off down the equipment and drove home. Once opened, I discovered that the interior is in pretty good shape even though the equipment has been a long time on the mast with no problems and survived many winters, storms and other inclement weather. Then I discovered that the faulty relay RX / TX. After replacing it's been okay and I hope on Friday before the race I hope to install. The race did not go just give out any one point.

To the north of Mexico City is a charming valley with waterfalls and caves "Grutas Tolantongo" about 1300 m above sea level where the river rises to the source of approximately 38 ° C.
Above the river rises the steep mountains around which every day circling vultures and several other birds. The water contains a lot of calcium and so beautifully colored and white stones are beautiful. Swimming is a balm to the body directly. In the warm water can endure incredibly long. During the 14-day stay, we took several trips to the monuments in Teotihuacan de Arista, Tula de Allende, Mineralis de Monte, Pachuca and a few other places.
