Number of nights 8
Message Hello my Fr!

A four-person amateur teams, on behalf of appealing to you. 22 July 2010 to 8 nights accommodation in the apartments would like to ask. 3 pieces of pole-sized antennas would, because we want the free time to do the hobby. It is important to us.

Sincerely, xxxxx xxxxxxxx

Anybody help?

Just had another read, and I'm wondering if they're Radio Amateurs (AKA Hams), and asking if they'd be able to put up their masts at your property? No idea how big they'd be though - you need a Ham Radio Geek.
