EADX 6M CONTEST
EADX 6M CONTEST
*OBJECTIVE: *Fomenting the activity and experimentation in this magic band,
field day operations as well as CW. In Spain there are still some areas
where the operation in this band is not allowed. So a list of all the
stations having part in this contest will be sent to the telecommunications
ministry in order to avoid such restrictions in the excluded areas.
We would appreciate that club stations taking part in this contest would
send us together with logs a letter signed by the association explaining
that they agree with our demand. That letter will be attached to the
stations list explained above.

included in this list.
