E2A philosophy
From 2014 to 2019, E2A appeared in world contests mainly in the SOAB-HP category with SO2R setup E21EIC. With the onset of Covid-19, many of the planned DX expeditions by E21EIC had to be postponed, which provided E2A with a great opportunity to focus more on training local newcomers who showed potential and are enthusiastic about radio sport. Since September 2020, E2A has started entering various competitions in the M/S or M/2 category with Rookie ops. This is the beginning of the journey to WRTC.
