PEARS National VHF/UHF contest 2022 January 15, 16

 

 


I would like to wish all radio amateurs taking part in the National VHF/UHF PEARS contest this weekend good luck and may you make many contacts. Thanks to Chris ZS1FC for relaying contest audio on the Echolink/AllStar link network.  The current contest conditions look favorable along the West Coast as well as between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth this evening.  Will look at the updated chart later this evening.  Enjoy and be safe out there!!
