Comments->   I had been three weeks in the hotel ( one was planned) but no visa for Nauru and no longer flights from Kiribati to Tuvalu.- Best hotel on the island for amateur radio- The only hotel with real takeoff from 250 via north to 90 degrees in the east. Room no. 8 or 18 in the old east wing is the best short cable length. My vertical antenna was outside near the laundry. Made from this site more than 7.000 contacts . Staff is very helpful to put longwires into the air. Bar and restaurant has low prices but closing at 10 hrs. Had only one visit to the bar when the T33C group arrived...
