My wife and I planned a cruise that departed from Barcelona. So, we booked this hotel a couple of days early and got to know the city a little better.
One of the highlights of this trip is that I got to meet a local ham and operate his station.

Here is Allan Batievsky, EA3HSO. He’s one of the loudest stations in Barcelona and a skillful operator.
