You want to see where DR5A is located? Just use Google Earth and have a look at this .kmz-file where i marked our QTH. The area has quite a nice resolution, and the farmer is working on the neighbouring field while the pictures have been taken. Enjoy!
Being the best MO team in the 2006 german contest trophy from West Germany, we easily achieved the 1st place in the section of the district North Rhine in that trophy. Have a look at that beauty:

(Yes, i know the difference between weather and climate, i just wanted to ride that hysterical wave)
I am now finished with uploading pictures of the October 2006 contest, featuring many pictures of our new 2m dish for 23cm and 13cm, and some atmospheric night shoots of the full moon over the contest site. But i want to draw your attention to two pictures of a natural phenomenon that is often overlooked, but that we noticed while taking down the equipment on sunday afternoon: Sundogs (Parhelion). I heard of them, but never noticed one before. So this was a nice ending of the contest weekend.
The “additional suns” can be found as bright spots in the clouds, left and right of the man sun (which i tried to hide behind the windmill).
Other nice pictures:
I played around with some pictures i took from a tripod during May 2006 contest, and threw them together in photoshop. I selected “teamwork” as a name, as it shows that the effort DR5A puts into contesting would be impossible without that good and experienced team behind that callsign.
