But that will be decide by future votations of EDXC members's club. After Risto Vähäkainu presented a reasearche about the future of our hobby according the problems with less stations activities and more electronic possiblities to get informations from the Web.  We have a lot of sugessions to utilize the UNESCO's World Radio day, next year, to do a cooperation and produce a programme giving informations about our hobby to the world.

But Dario pprefered to stay in the bus to do an FM band scan, giving more than 160 FM transmitters, from Lisbon till Porto. More signals coming from central parts of Portugal. After with the same bus we came backt to the city to visit a local station, FM 99.1 MHz, called a Foz de Mondego Mondego is the city river). So we meet the manager of the station, the visit was quite short because the station is very little, but quite well equipped, and the station is automatic working machine on Saturdays.
