Weekend contest 23 & 24 February

Αγαπητοί φίλοι contesters σας εύχομαι καλό Σαββατοκύριακο. Ετοιμαστείτε καλά γιατί αυτό το Σ/Κ υπάρχουν διαγωνισμοί που παρουσιάζουν έντονο ενδιαφέρον όπως ο CQ για τα 160 μέτρα, ο REF, ο UBA για CW ενώ οι λάτρεις των ψηφιακών θα έχουν την ευκαιρία να τρέξουν PSK και RTTY στον SARL Digital Contest. Καλά να περάσετε ό,τι κι αν επιλέξετε, ό,τι κι αν κάνετε.
