   Hello dear friends
   Good news, the DL dream team is now at the hotel !
   Just read the following info from Norbert, DJ7JC:

   Now we’re in the Country Lake Resort. we can tell to you and to the group that all our expectations had been more as possible fullfilled…

   We’d a warm Welcome at the Airport and a very warm from Angela with her staff in the Resort .
   All preconditions for our stay, for our antennas etc. are excellent.

   We’d to wait in the custom because of some burocratic adjustiertes between the different departments…but AT the end …After three hours…we passed the custom without problems.
   All the staff are very friendly, phantastic surroundings in a beautiful nature …well done what you had prepared for the stay here.

   We’ll send photos later.
