…the movement of dr5a.de to a new, more powerful server is finished and went without any severe problems :-). If you notice anything that does not work as expected, please drop me a line.

Very soon, this page will (again) move to another server, hopefully now for a longer time. So please bear with us if the page is not reachable during some of the next days. While the move itself will not take too long (i hope), it takes some time (1-2 days) until all DNS-servers notice that dr5a.de is now pointing to another, new IP.

I made the following little updates to the site:

• First pictures of July contest (but still more to come)
• Tabular results of all contests of last year (DK3OS in 2005)
• I introduced the nice new header graphics, featuring selected pictures of our contest operations. They are rotating, so most likely you will see different pictures when reloading or revisiting our page. I plan to include more different header pictures over time.

Gradually, i will go back and add all the results of previous year back to 1998 when the group started “serious” operation.

Finally, i found a small problem on the site that prevented the archive links from working. Now the archive is working like it should. Beside that, i also added an enhanced page navigation at the bottom. Have fun.

We included a new feature on this site: Receive an email when there are changes to this site. Your email address will only be used for notifications about changes on this site, nothing else. Also some minor changes to the menu on the right happened.

Nearly one month after the May contest, our report and pictures are still missing here. Other tasks kept me from working on this site. In the very near future, this site will move (again) to another new, faster server. As soon as this is done, work on this site will continue as usual. I will provide the May contest information and certainly also all bits about our June microwave contest.

Hello!

Welcome to the new webpage of the NRCOCOS VHF contest group, now easily recognizable on the band through their new contest callsign DR5A. www.nrcocos.de will also lead to this new page, www.dr5a.de. Rebuilding all those contents of the old page is a quite tedious task, so that will take some time. I will start with the recent contests and work my way back in time till march 1998.
I decided to switch from a CMS-type system to a blog-type system for publication, i think that fits the style of the content much better: Giving information on our ongoing efforts in VHF contest with only a small static parts of information.
When everything is finished, this website is planned to host all our contest results till march 1998, a wide range of pictures we took during contests, links to interesting sites on the web related to (european) VHF contesting, some audio files, and most likely the possibility to look up calls or locators in our very own station database gathered from all QSOs we made since march 1998.

Enjoy!
