The year's first contest! All the rigs were running perfectly after four month beeing quiet. Weather was great for march. Last year we had 15cm fresh snow from saturday to sunday! Result is good. Can't be compared with other seasons because in march there are not too many stations at the portable location.
 
 
 
 

Impressions:

the antenna at sunset	Everything ready to leave! The crew is really tired! from left: Dick (DK7CM), Joe (DL6ZBN),  Eugen (DL3ZAL), Glyn (DJØWW), Wolf (DL4FCS)

Those are the squares we reached:
 

Comment: Activity was really poor and conditions where even worth! We had problems to copy locals from QRB around 200km from time to time. Don't know what happend there! Hope it will get better in May.
