Report for my first activation WWFF and POTA (FFF-2709 / F-1185)

I've been a HAM since just a few days, but I worked ahead on my station to be effective quickly. I started radio 5 years ago on 11m and dreamt of having my radio amateur callsign since then. As soon as I got the graal, just 2 days before Field Day, my dream activity... I set up my station near the city of Biot, close to well known city of Cannes, hoping to make many contacts with other portable stations. But I realized quickly this ARRL contest/activity is not very popular in Europe. Instead, the bands were full of Spanish contesters...
