DK0NA wins 2024 DARC VHF/UHF/SHF-Contest-Pokal – VHF/UHF/SHF Contest Trophy

On February 17th 2025 some members of DK0NA crew joined the annual GHz-Meeting in Dorsten to receive the trophy of the „DARC UKW-Contest-Pokal 2024“. The meeting is always a nice opportunity to meet and talk to all the big contest ops in Germany and also some guests from all over the IARU R1 Region. The dinners at the Hotel Jägerhof Einhaus are legendary. Our team DK0NA won the VHF/UHF/SHF championship of contests in Germany 2024 and we had to take part in the 7 major contests to reach this goal. So we are very proud and want to thank all the helping hands we had during the past year. Also mni tnx to all the OMs we had QSO with and we are looking forward to the contest year 2025!

Here are some impressions of the GHz-meeting in Dorsten:

IARU R1 UHF SHF Contest October 2024

The DK0NA team attended the IARU R1 UHF SHF Contest in October 2024. The weather forecast for the weekend wasn’t that good but the set up of the antennas was easy and fast due to the fact that we had a lot of helping hands. Our technical equipment caused no problems and everything worked fine. The condx were not better than normal but we could achieve a new local QSO record on the 70cm band at our station site. The claimed scores (see photo, 122, 134, 241 GHz and Laser is missing on the picture) are quite ok.

We are also happy to welcome a new guest operator, DK2RO, Robert. Tnx to everybody we had QSO with and all the helpers around our team!

DK5NJ, DB6NT, DL2ALF, DH1NAX, DL2AKT, DG2NES, DK2RO

DB6NT and DK5NJ bulit the antennas themselves according to DG7YBN antenna design with DG7YBN dipoles. Thanks for all the helping hands and the QSOs during the contest!
