International Museum Ships Weekend

IMW 2017 in Laboe

Today at Thursday, it was the arrival of our group. Harald DL5XI arrived the day before. At noon we went to Kiel to pick up our English guests at the central station (Hbf).

first beer, U995, set-up briefing
In the evening we could join our first beer and officially started this year's meeting in comfortable atmosphere at the Admiral Scheer.

Today at Friday, it was the official set-up day. In bright sunshine we all used to get more fun. Our first function test turned out successful and made us hope for fine contacts.

Antenna set-up and dinner

Today at Saturday, the first day of the IMW, we started at 0900LT on the dot. Unfortunately our radio times were limited due to the opening hours of the museum from 0900 to 1900 LT.
All started with flags set-up and parade.
