Only contacts that have been entered in the database are valid.
Lovely looking certificate Sylvia, I think I’ll have a go at achieving it from a Chaser point-of-view from GM (though it would have been great to have tried for 15 Activations in OE - too many in GM to complete at the moment - hi!).
Hi Armin,
I think with varying conditions you should be able to make the 15 contacts with activators in Austria by the end of the year - there are still 7 months to go and the main activities are only starting now (still a lot of snow in the higher mountains….).
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Salzburg has a new and very active Region Manager Gilbert @OE2GXL - you can send him a PM via the reflector.
Let us know when you are coming, we might even try to organise a joint activation if you wish.
The SOTA community in Upper Austria (OE5) will also be on standby
We will also be able to offer an award for the special callsign OE15SOTA (to be on the air from Sept. 6 - 22). The corresponding information will be issued nearer to the day.
