In September last year, the brand IP0A successfully presented in IARU VHF Conteste zo Sardínie. Stanica pracovala z Punta Salici (905m asl) v lokátore JN40LW. The result and the positive response to last year's activity encouraged the team to participate in the competition in 2025 – this time even more ambitiously.

New place, bigger challenges
For this year, the team IP0A decided to move his workplace to the famous Sardinian mountains Monte Limbara in height 1250 meters above sea level. The new locator will be JN40OU, which provides excellent conditions for remote reception and broadcasting on the 144 MHz band.
International team of operators
Under the brand IP0A a six-member team will work, which unites operators from several countries:
-
Richard IS0JHQ (OK8WW, OM2TW)
-
Joseph OM5AW
-
Mila OK1VUM
-
Dominik OM6DN
-
Jozef OM5CD
-
Nicola IS0IYN
This lineup combines VHF/UHF competition experience, technical prowess and enthusiasm for teamwork.
Antennas and technology
The team plans to use large antennas with an emphasis on a solid direction to Germany (DL) and the Czech Republic (OK). This means that the station will have very good conditions for connections with Central Europe. For racers from our region, it's a challenge - point your antennas south and look for the mark IP0A .
Where to find them
Ako informoval Richard IS0JHQ, stanica bude počas contestu prítomná aj na chat ON4KST, where interested parties will be able to arrange skeds.
Invitation for all
Tím IP0A posiela pozdrav všetkým účastníkom IARU VHF Contestu a teší sa na množstvo spojení z celého kontinentu. Sardínia je vždy atraktívnym DX cieľom a aj tento rok sa očakáva, že IP0A prinesie do pretekov množstvo zaujímavých QSO.
