Preparing for the 2nd Subregional Contest 5/6 May

Last Sunday a 4 member team SV2RM,SV2MCH,SV2MDV and me where on the road to the vhf contest site in KN00LI about 1800m asl to test new equipment for the contests.Unfortunately we found at least 20cm of snow in about 100 meters on the road 1km before the site.Under these conditions it is not sure if we will be qrv in the contest.

Anyway we hope that in those 2 weeks period before the contest the snow will melt and we will qrv with our new antenna system on 2m which is 2 time 17B2 Cushcraft.
