Contest 24 - 25 January

Αγαπητοί συνάδελφοι και ένθερμοι φίλοι των ραδιοερασιτεχνικών διαγωνισμών, σας εύχομαι καλό Σαβατοκύριακο.
Δυστυχώς και αυτό το Σ/Κ η στήλη δημοσιεύεται με αρκετή αργοπορία!
Εν τάχει, αυτό το διήμερο οι μπάντες σφύζουν από δραστηριότητες. Από τα 160 μέτρα θα ακούσετε τόσο διαγωνισμούς σε CW mode, όσο και σε SSB mode. Ραδιοτηλέτυπο (RTTY) για τους φίλους του είδους και ... καλή διασκέδαση!

Contest 10 and 11 January

Αγαπητοί συνάδελφοι και φίλοι σας εύχομαι Χρόνια Πολλά, Ευτυχισμένη Χρονιά γεμάτη από Υγεία, Ευτυχία, Ευημερία και φυσικά καλές ραδιοερασιτεχνικές δραστηριότητες. 

Μόλις μια ανάσα μετά την εορταστική περίοδο των Χριστουγέννων η χώρα "πέρασε" σε προεκλογική περίοδο! Αυτό όμως το γεγονός, όπως και πολλά ακόμα, δεν σταματά τη ροή της ζωή μας. Οπότε και αυτό το Σαββατοκύριακο θα διεξαχθούν ρ/ε διαγωνισμοί, καθώς και το επόμενο και ούτω καθεξής.

Όπως και να έχει, αν το Σαββατοκύριακο παραμείνετε στο σπίτι, θα έχετε την ευκαιρία να ακούσετε κάποιον από τους παρακάτω διαγωνισμούς.

Καλή επιτυχία.
