[A-DX] A.I.R. - Contest 2006

[Siegbert.Gerhard@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hallo Liste,

nachfolgend in leicht verständlichem Englisch die Ausschreibung des AIR-Contest 2006, die mir Bruno zuschickte. Schade, dass Bruno nicht schon über die Feiertage mit dem Contest beginnen lässt, er hätte vermutlich wesentlich mehr Teilnehmer. Aber auch so ist insbesondere Teil 1 Europa ein breites Hörspektrum.
Ich wünsche Euch viel Spass bei der Teilnahme.
73 aus FFM, Siegbert
