Alpe Adria Contest

Beautiful weather, good spirits, old acquaintances from the amateur radio bands and interesting content are the hallmarks of the first day of this year’s HRS Conference, which attracted around 80 participants.

Particularly interesting was the successful demo on 24 GHz organized by Dragan 9A5AA, as well as the award ceremony for the Alpe Adria VHF+ competitions for 2020 and 2024.

We convey a piece of the atmosphere through a few photographs, and a full, comprehensive report, video and photo albums will follow after the Conference.
