RADIO EQUIPMENT AND SITE at XP1AB
You will have to bring all radio equipment. On the site you will find plenty of towers and cables ranging from RG-214 to 1 7/8" from the radio shack to the towers.
The radio site is in an insulated and heated shack, 9x5 m2, divided in two rooms with plenty of AC power. There is access to 3x208 VAC, 3x100 A and 60 Hz. According to OX3HI most 220-230 VAC equipment will work fine on 208 VAC. However, better check at home.
There is a small fee for joining the club and electricity.
The website for the club station is at: http://www.qsl.net/xp1ab/
