IR-HQ Announcement follow up

After a long internal discussion about what we need to do with it, the HQ team decided to dismiss our current IR-DX President from his function.

We will not explain all, as we do not like to throw with mud, but main reason for this difficult decision is the lack of good communication between the President and the HQ members for a long time already.

To keep the group alive, we needed to take this drastic step and we will continue to run the IR-DX Group as a team and not just by one person who is controlling everything.

The lighthouse was constructed in 1802 and is overlooking the Bay of Montevideo with an altitude of 134 meters above sea level, so a nice DX spot.

Eduardo starts the activity from 15 July 2023 until 700 stations are logged (no end date known).
