The 2nd Subregional Contest 2023
Man proposes, God disposes. This year’s 2nd Subregional Contest turned out completely differently than we planned. Every year I prepare a schedule of VHF contests that we will go under the radio club callsign OM3KSI, and which contests we will go to on own callsigns. This year, the 2nd Subregional Contest was also planned under the radio club callsign. Due to the various family or work commitments of our members, there were only two of us, Jaro OM0JKE and I, Peter OM8WG, who could spend the weekend at our contest field KN08QQ. However, we agreed to go under our brands.
