20 miles north of Maputo, the small town of Matendene, where the scenario is more of a desert than the surroundings of a more than 1 million people capital city of Mozambique. Check the location here at
Google Maps!
2 great soccer matches to show: Netherlands 0 - Denmark 1 (what a surprise!) and Germany 1 - Portugal 0 (seriously?...)
We arrived at the location around 5:15 PM, an open area with lots of sand, where young athletes play soccer until its dark.
We only have 45 minutes to setup everything, including the difficult task of connectiong to the sattelite Eutelsat W7, and begin broadcasting:
 |
| Place the vehicle in the right position, according to the wind, and start unload the equipment... |
 |
| Setting the dish and the receiver... |
 |
| Aligning it to the satellite at 36 East, 36553 Km far... |
 |
| setuo the big screen |
 |
| Lift it up and... |
 |
| Wow... right on time for the kick-off! |
 |
| That's it! |
Cameras have a special hability to atract children around here... after a few flashes, and we start receiving requests:
 |
| Aunt, I'm asking for a photo!!!!! |
 |
| Hei bro, what about a picture?... |
 |
| Picture, please..., Picture, please...,Picture, please..... |
