As I expressed my belief and intention some time ago, that I will make efforts to activate the east of Slovakia on VHF, I am happy to state that it is starting to take off.
I thank the stations from the Bardejov region Stano OM3WSG, OM3KBW, Tomáš OM0AST, Kamil OM0CS, OM3RXB and Jano OM3WKS from Svidník, Juraj OM3ZBG from Prešov, Števo OM0MS from Humenného, Milan OM3WFC from Snina, Jojo OM3ZAS and Jozef OM3CHL from Košice. I believe that we will be here on the third Sunday in January 2007 by no means. It doesn't matter at all that the rest of Slovakia won't hear us, it doesn't matter at all that we all won't send reports, it's important to give points to our colleagues from the east of Slovakia and to develop activity in our sport to support competition in order to overcome the handicap of VHF stations from the east, separated by mountains from the rest of Slovakia. We can't all have hundreds of watts, but we can all compete. Perhaps it would be appropriate to re-evaluate the conditions of the race, or to bonus stations from the east, announce the station from the east, west, center of Slovakia, or according to large squares.
For example, finally evaluating NAJ QTH KN09, being the best with a kilowatt and a forest of antennas isn't a sport!? Operating assets talks about activity and operation, let's change the competition so that we have a competition about participation and not about hundreds of points and a huge gap between stations. In the East, we started last weekend what is rightly called the radio amateur spirit and I believe. that there will be more and more of us. friends, join us, give us points, get in touch through the converters, write to me at wyb@proxisnet.sk
