Upcoming: DL6KAC@HB0/HB9AON
CQ WW DX SSB 2008 is approaching and this means that people start traveling all over the world, in order to be ready for the contest.
In my case this means that I will be once again in Liechtenstein with the HB0/HB9AON team. We will operate multi-multi with 6 stations and the usual “field-day” setup. Additionally it is very likely that we have internet access, so we will set up a webcam. Stay tuned!

For everbody who speaks german, a news flash has been setup. Alternatively you can read the automatic translation which is far from perfect, but better than nothing.
You can also follow this blog for updates as I will try to keep it updated over the contest.

Christian,
Wishing Team HB0/HB9AON the very best when CQ WW DX SSB hits the ionosphere. Hopefully, our solar flux indice will ramp upward and hit unseen numbers since the absolute bottoming of Cycle Twenty-three. Good luck to you and the team.

Hi Scot,
thanks for the wishes. Hope to see you in the log!
With respect to propagation I am pretty confident as these big contests usually create their “own” propagation
