SOTA – Amateurfunk am Weltstein (478m)

Christian OE5HCE – SOTA OE/OO-140 Weltstein 14th May 2011

diesmal mit CW-QSO’s (Telegrafie). Die OM’s waren sehr diszipliniert und haben sehr langsam gegeben (QRS), damit ich das auch fehlerfrei mitlesen konnte 😉

This time with CW QSO’s (Morse code). The OM’s were very disciplined and have been very slow (QRS), so I could read along and error-free 😉
