The next (and for us: last) contest of this year is lying ahead: IARU region I UHF/SHF/microwave-contest. We will take part from the usual location in JO30EM featuring a new 2 m diameter dish for 23cm (200w power) and 13cm (40w power), and our usual 8×11el+700w for 70cm and 70cm dish+10w for 3cm. We hope for many nice QSOs to complete our VHF contest 2006 season, as we are normally omitting the November Marconi contest.

But this time, the October contest will not be our last visit to the JO30EM-site: At the last weekend of October parts of the NRCOCOS-Team will set up some HF antennas there and take part in the CQWW-SSB-DX contest as DR5A in die Multi/Single category, enjoying a sidekick from the VHF&up work :-).
