Paul, that is the plan, my intention is to activate FN56 during the 2018 june
VHF and it will be on sunday to give me more time on the air, like me, you can
see the place on google street view in the tiny village of St-Adalbert (yes,
the name sound bizzare even for us french speakers) in FN56bu. Plan to operate
on the church parking, seem to have a nice take-off angle toward the US.
Planning to go visiting the place once just to be sure, don't yet know if is
this automn or spring AND ask permission to operate from the people church
and/or the Mayor beforehand....
