Today we received the first certificate for DR5A: place 3 on the 13cm band. We hope there will be many more to come.

The official German results of March contest have been published on the DARC web pages. We achieved a nice 4th place on 2m and a 3rd place on 13cm and can be quite satisfied, although others did better this time. I added the details here.

IO62 will be active during May contest on 144MHZ and 432MHz (at least). While it would be very nice to get that square in the log again on 2m, it would be a new one on 70cm. With around 900km distance, it is possible without doubt. Unfortunately, May is no good month to beam to G or EI, as there is no contest there in parallel to the other subregional ones. We will see.

Georg, DL1ECG, uploaded some more pictures of our March contest (and the tests of our new 23cm transverter at home) to our gallery. Thank you!
