Ben (DL6RAI),
Rudolf (DJ3WE), and Falk (DK7YY) 5 hours after the contest in bright sunshine
on the top of the building with the Himalaya mountains in the far background.

In the heat of the contest: Ben, DL6RAI, manning station A, some 36 hours
into the contest and still seeing it as life entertainment |

In
the heat of the contest: Falk, DK7YY, operating station B, after a grueling
night at the low bands and absolutely determined to make the QSOs no matter
what.

to our factory building |
Each
day the visibility improves. From our shack we now can even see the Himalayan
mountains sticking their summits out of the clouds behind the range of mountains
surrounding the Kathmandu valley. |

DL6RAI, on his rented bike from local production. There is no light, but
the bell can be heard loud and clear. |

The
evenings are getting colder by the day. The local shop owners light small
fires from rubbish to get some warmth. |
Many
things are different from what they are back home: The local beer is excellent,
yet they put it in 650 ml bottels and it is pretty strong stuff. |

What
a contrast: The soldier in front of his sand bags and the holy cow strolling
along the street and seemingly looking a bit amused at the soldier. |
We had our first technical problem. For some reason or other we burnt the
lower insulator of the vertical (40m to 10m), but fortunately we could quickly
come up with a work around. |

That's
the old part of Kathmandu, called Thamel. Packed with people, shops, restaurants
and some tourists... |

Busy
life in the narrow streets of Thamel |
Surprisingly
no ice seems to be needed for this fish retailer |

In
the middle of all the action there are always places of worship ... and,
of course, the Gods welcome some food |
Open
air barber(shop): Just fancy to kneel like that for a while... |
