Contest 11 and 12 October

Αγαπητοί συνάδελφοι και φίλοι των ρ/ε διαγωνισμών, σας εύχομαι καλό Σαββατοκύριακο.

Το διήμερο 11 και 12 Οκτωβρίου υπάρχουν πολλοί ρ/ε διαγωνισμοί και αρκετοί από αυτούς παρουσιάζουν έντονο ενδιαφέρον. Ενδεικτικά σας αναφέρω τους: Oceania DX Contest για CW, Scandinavian Activity Contest για SSB και φυσικά υπάρχουν και διαγωνισμοί για RTTY και PSK.

Όπως και να έχει, αν και αυτό το Σαββατοκύριακο παραμείνετε στο σπίτι, θα έχετε την ευκαιρία να ακούσετε κάποιον από τους παρακάτω ρ/ε διαγωνισμούς.

Καλή επιτυχία.
