Storm “Synne”
An active European windstorm caused extreme weather event named “Desmond” in UK and Ireland. In Norway got a name “Synne” which brought exceptionally heavy rainfall to much of West-South part of Norway. High winds up to 30 m/s did a lot of damage. I was lucky that only top antenna for 23cm got a some minor displacement.

Migration to MAC completed
My last programs for Windows can be run now on my MAC with OS X. With CROSSOVER Virtual Machine can use VQLOG and WSJT program without any problems. “Never say never” but I’m saying goodbye to Windows and hopefully will not returne or use it again.
