Bxhome

We (father OK2BX and I) visited this year hamradio meeting Holice again. Long time was not clear which day we go there. Finally situation permited and we went on Friday. We woke up in early morning. It is not so far, but there is only low level class roads and riding them take some time. Weather forecast for weekend was pretty bad. On Friday afternoon they predicted quick fall of temperature and storms with hailstones.
