Back from Europe and a fantastic summermeeting, logs from August 2

We arrived home from our European vacation about a week ago, but the weather has been so hot and sunny that we have just continued the holiday on our patio. :-)

The only disappointing part of the entire trip was the crappy little radio that I took with me.  It simply didn't work on mediumwave at all (just noise), and sw was almost as bad.  Despite a nice high location, no luck in Amsterdam, or in Rhodes (but it was fun trying as the sun set over Amsterdam).

One of the highlights of the trip was definitely the summermeeting.  It was so unique to travel so far, and then meet so many friends all in a couple of days!  There were so many people there that I didn't get a chance to talk to everyone as much as I would have liked, but it was an enjoyable and very busy time.  Thanks to Frans and all the "staff" for a fantastic meeting.

I managed a little listening last night, and it was nice to hear Borderhunter with a very long show, and several other familiar voices.
