Not much is happening during the “winter break”. We finished 5th place in the German contest Trophy, and already received our certificate for that. DR5A will take part in the major VHF/UHF/SHF/MW contests from JO30EM as usual during 2007. Actually, the weather is much too warm and wet, but i am sure when March contest approaches, it will get cold, nasty, and snowy. Soon we will have our annual casual contest team meeting in a nice restaurant to forge new plans for the upcoming year, and I am sure some of our team will attend the Dorsten GHz-Tagung ro shake some hands of other fellow contesters.

I also updated the link on the sidebar to the OK2KKW contest news site to point to their new (and finally fast!) www.ok2kkw.com homepage.
