Invitation for the YL event OL88YL
Date: Sunday, August 4, 2024 (day of arrival) to Saturday, August 10, 2024 (day of departure)
Dear YLs
We are pleased to inform you about the next YL event in the Czech Republic. We will be able to use the first-class OK5Z contest station for 7 days. The station is located near Brno, the second largest city in the Czech Republic. The 3* hotel in Náměšť nadOslavou is only a few kilometers by car from the radio station. Transportation to and from the hotel is ideally by car or via car sharing for the other participants.
The hotel costs for one person/per night, including breakfast, are around CZK 1,200 (= ~ CHF 48). There are also other hotels nearby if a different category is required. There is the individual possibility to participate in the event for one, several days or the whole week. OM as a companion is of course very welcome.
Our activities are accompanied by a professional video cameraman and photographer and recorded on modern data carriers.
In addition to the pure radio activities (a maximum of five YLs can operate simultaneously on different bands/modes), we have also planned workshops for the first time:
- How do I set up a station for digi-modes (e.g. RTTY) and how do I operate in an RTTY contest?
- How do I operate the Fox/Hound mode (FT8) in DXpedition traffic?specialties?
- We build a 20m dipole together, which every YL can take home
- How do I solder an N/PL connector to a coaxial cable?
The hosts will also give us selected presentations of their DXpeditions to Africa. SOTA (summits on the air), flora and fauna (OKFF) activations will round off the varied program. We assume that there will be something for everyone.
We will provide information about the further development of the event sporadically in suitable media such as the USKA website, Facebook, Instagram and QRZ.
I will gladly accept registrations at hb9fpm@uska.ch (Eva Thiemann, HB9FPM/OK3QE). I am also available to answer any questions you may have.
