05/12/19 : Merry Christmas to all visitors of this website! Due to the QRL - load the sysop couldn't spend much time for maintenance. Last not least the X-Mas theme has been reactivated and some small changes had been made. Do you like the main picture? It was taken during the March contest 2005. Really hardcore contesting! Hope to see all of you in 2006. 73!

05/10/13 : Only good news at all! October contest is done and despite the bad weather the results were fine. We are looking forward to the official evaluation by DARC. The September national results are published last week : we are very happy to win the 1st place in Germany leading > 50.000 points to the 2nd (DK0BN)! We could blame that on the equipment or on the propagation conditions, I'm not sure. Lets have a look to our competitor OL4A : their result is very close to our, we are ready for the international evaluation!
Standings for German Contest Trophy after September :

        1. DL0GTH  6411        2. DK3OS  4654        3. DL0TUD  4555

Meanwhile, the international results of the IARU-Reg.1-UHF-/SHF-/MW-contest 2003 are evaluated by ZRS. See the published document here. DL0GTH is the winner of the 70cm, 9cm and the overall section! What a great result! 
What else happened ? A short statement concerning our "full house" in July contest is published in Dubus 3/2005 by John, G3XDY.
A very successful contest season is almost over. A lot of maintenance work is to do, and last but not least, you will hear some of us with their individual call signs in Marconi contest. After that, we are looking forward to the Dorsten Microwave Meeting in February 2006.Cu there!

05/09/19 : No updates for a long time! What happened meanwhile ? July contest is over and the results were excellent! Some new high scores were achieved and some results scratched the legendary October '95 all time high. So we are very happy. All equipment was working fine, even the  provisionally repaired 23cm dish did a good job (202 QSOs on 23cm! ). Conditions were fine. Detailed report see here. Official results see here.

Enough good news? Not at all. The September contest topped even the July results. What a weekend! With fb tropo conds and good participation throughout Europe we achieved a new fabulous all time high on 2m : 1262 QSOs, 26 DXCCs, 129 locs and > 440.00 points! That was far more than we expected after a good start on Saturday afternoon. Now we are looking forward to October.
