DR5A qrv in September IARU-VHF-Contest

And once more, we will try our very best to be successful in the upcoming VHF Contest. The available team is very small, but is only one band on the other hand, so we will cope.

We will run 4×9el vertically stacked, and in parallel selectable 15el cushcraft or 2 stacked BigWheels. We are excited to see what will be the “better” 2nd antenna. Like last year, we try to record the whole contest as MP3, we hope it will work well. Look for us around 144.182MHz, and see you in the QRM :-).

Introducing: Gerald, DO7GG

After he heavily supported us during March contest, and did his first, very successful operating in May contest, we are introducing our newest team member: Gerald, DO7GG. Despite of him being only 14 years old, he did many DX QSOs on 2m, 70cm and 3cm in May in a very professional way. We are happy to have him in the team and hope that he will stay with us for a long time. Welcome, Gerald.

DR5A QRV in march contest

As usual, we will be QRV in the upcoming march contest from our site in JO30EM. The weather is still rainy, but too warm for snow. The forecasts are not predicting any heavy snow for the contest weekend, so most likely we will have the rare situation of being able to reach our usual meadow for the march contest. That also means we can put up all of our equipment. We hope for many nice QSOs during the weekend.
