Also this year I made the APE expedition with fun.
From my home in Vado Ligure (JN44fg) i went in the Piemonte region
near the city of Cortemilia (JN44co).
The trip started at 9 AM (local time) and i started the
transmissions at 10.36 AM (local time).
I was the only member of the expedition and the site of the
expedition operations was on the way to the beginning of the village
as shown in the picture.
