Setting up in Layang, Layang
We arrived in Layang, Layang after the one-hour flight from KK, around 9h00AM this morning. The island is as small as we expected but I did not know that it was the extremity of a circular reef. Really cool. No wonder we are surrounded by divers! We are really the “odd couple” this way here.
With a room at the end of the resort, just beside the entry of the navy base, we have already set up the multi-band vertical, now set to 10m, the 20m vertical and the 80m vertical. It is now 2PM, and Ed is testing the radios.
I investigated with the resort about the 40 feet poles previously left on the island, but unfortunately they have been “thrown out”, which means “sent back to KK”. But Ed had no problem setting up the 80m in the trees which are right there between our room and the airstrip/ocean. The 160m might be a different story.
OK, back to work! We will keep you posted on our progress a little later.
PS: No photos unfortunately until we leave the island. It is actually forbidden to upload or download images at the resort.
