Part 3: Antenna Installation Plan
7.20 In the early morning, I finished everything and then went to the beach to watch the sunrise. Unfortunately, bad luck struck again. As shown in the picture, I went to the park near the coast to watch the sunrise, but I got lost and ended up in the wrong place. However, I have to say that the breakfast sold by a small stall on the street in Zhoushan is really delicious (maybe all breakfasts in the Yangtze River Delta are similar?).

I took a taxi to the Dinghai district, but after returning to my temporary accommodation, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I fell asleep. zzz;
Waking up, it was already time for dinner. Because I wasn't familiar with the surrounding area, I went back to the Dinghai district again, which also laid the groundwork for my further misfortune: My original plan was to eat dinner and return around 6-7 pm, which would have given me enough time to go upstairs and set up the antenna before waiting for CQ WW VHF at 2:00 PM on July 22, 2024. However, due to peak hours, traffic congestion, and other factors, I didn't return until it was completely dark, so I couldn't bring myself to go upstairs because I was afraid of the dark.
After some thought, I decided to start around 4:30 PM, taking advantage of the early morning light and minimizing any delay to the match. Then, I spent the rest of the evening working on it.
7:22 AM, I went upstairs around 4:00 AM. This was also the reason why I couldn't access the building properly. The top floor was locked, and there was double security with an electronic key card and a physical key. When I went downstairs, I asked the security guard and he told me to contact the property management company, which opens at 7:30 AM...
