Contest 13 and 14 December

Αγαπητοί συνάδελφοι και φίλοι των ρ/ε διαγωνισμών, σας εύχομαι καλό Σαββατοκύριακο. Βρισκόμαστε ήδη στα του μήνα και αυτό το Σαββατοκύριακο δεν θα διεξαχθούν αρκετοί διαγωνισμοί. 
Έτσι λοιπόν, το ενδιαφέρον θα μονοπωλήσει o ARRL 10-Meter Contest για CW και SSB modes.

Όπως και να έχει, αν το Σαββατοκύριακο παραμείνετε στο σπίτι, θα έχετε την ευκαιρία να ακούσετε, εκτός από τους προαναφερθέντες διαγωνισμούς και κάποιον από τους παρακάτω. 

Καλή επιτυχία.
