Contest 1 and 2 August

Αγαπητοί συνάδελφοι σας εύχομαι καλό μήνα και καλό και όμορφο Σαββατοκύριακο. Αυτό το Σ/Κ διεξάγονται αρκετοί διαγωνισμοί και μάλιστα για όλα τα γούστα.

Από την 1η του Αυγούστου αρχίζουν και επίσημα τα μπάνια του λαού, φυσικά για όσους έχουν πλέον αυτή τη δυνατότητα.
Όσοι λοιπόν την κοπανήσετε για … μαγικούς προορισμούς, καλά να περάσετε και μη ξεχάσετε να πάρετε μαζί σας τον ασύρματο.

Ακολουθούν οι υποσημειώσεις 'Οι διαγωνισμοί της επόμενης εβδομάδας' και  'Προθεσμίες υποβολής ημερολογίων για προηγούμενους διαγωνισμούς'.

Σας εύχομαι καλό βόλι και να περάσετε ένα όμορφο διήμερο.

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.
