Contest 6 and 7 December

Αγαπητοί συνάδελφοι και φίλοι των ρ/ε διαγωνισμών, σας εύχομαι καλό Σαββατοκύριακο και καλό μήνα. Βρισκόμαστε ήδη στον τελευταίο μήνα του έτους. Αυτό το Σαββατοκύριακο θα διεξαχθούν αρκετοί διαγωνισμοί, αρκετοί εκ των οποίων παρουσιάζουν έντονο ενδιαφέρον! Έτσι λοιπόν, οι φίλοι των ψηφιακών διαμορφώσεων θα έχουν την ευκαιρία να τρέξουν τον EPC Ukraine DX Contest για BPSK63 Mode, το TARA RTTY φυσικά για RTTY Mode, ενώ οι φίλοι της φωνής και του κλειδιού θα έχουν την ευκαιρία να συμμετάσχουν στον VU International DX Contest.

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.
