Τα contest του Σ/Κ 12 & 13 Ιανουαρίου 2013

Αγαπητοί συνάδελφοι ραδιοερασιτέχνες αισίως φτάσαμε στο δεύτερο Σαββατοκύριακο του νέου έτους όπου όλα πλέον δείχνουν ότι το διάλειμμα τελείωσε και έφτασε η ώρα όπου πρέπει να βάλουμε τα κεφάλια μέσα.

Όσο για τον υποφαινόμενο, μετά από μια «γριπούλα» που με ταλαιπώρησε λιγάκι τις τελευταίες μέρες, σήμερα μάλλον με βαρέθηκε και άρχισε να τα μαζεύει τα μπογαλάκια της σιγά – σιγά!

Λοιπόν, σηκωθείτε από κρεβάτια, καρέκλες, πολυθρόνες, ανάκλιντρα (!!!), κασέλες (και ψαροκασέλες), βγείτε από τις ντουλάπες και όπου αλλού βρίσκεστε τέλος πάντων, γιατί από αυτό το Σ/Κ οι διαγωνισμοί ξεκινούν για τα καλά.

Δεν θα σας κουράσω άλλο, απλά σας προτείνω να ρίξετε μια ματιά στο τι ακολουθεί και είμαι σίγουρος ότι όλο και κάτι θα βρείτε που θα σας ανοίξει την όρεξη για δραστηριότητα.
