Contest 16 – 17 August

Αγαπητοί συνάδελφοι σας εύχομαι χρόνια πολλά και ιδιαίτερα στους εορτάζοντες και τις εορτάζουσες.

Ανατρέχοντας σε αναρτήσεις προηγούμενων ετών, διαπίστωσα ότι τον μήνα Αύγουστο ποτέ μα ποτέ δεν έγραψα περισσότερες από τρεις και μάλιστα φέτος είναι η πρώτη φορά που γράφω συστηματικά για τους διαγωνισμούς.

Αν και λίγο αργοπορημένα να σας ενημερώσω ότι σήμερα 16 και αύριο 17 Αυγούστου διεξάγονται ουκ ολίγοι διαγωνισμοί μερικοί εκ των οποίων παρουσιάζουν κάποιο ενδιαφέρον. Αν για εσάς οι διακοπές τελείωσαν ή αν η θάλασσα είναι αρκετά μακριά, διαβάστε προσεκτικά τους κανονισμούς των διαγωνισμών και οργανώστε επίθεση!

Σας εύχομαι να περνάτε όσο πιο όμορφα γίνετε, παρέα με ή χωρίς τους ασύρματους.
