Home LOGs S5 Contests

 

 

Since very beginning one of my greatest interests has been contesting. Almost all my 2m(occasionally also 70cm and 23cm) activity is related to mountain V. Javornik (JN75DS, 1268m a.s.l.), located near town Postojna in South – West part of Slovenia.

The cottage on JN75DS was an idea for a long time but staring to become reality in 1992. Nowadays, it offer us comfort and save place for serious DXing and Contesting. Of course, most of the contests belong to our club call sign S59DEM but on the other side it is now the only point that I operate from (due to restrictions at living areas in the capital) although just few times per year.

We are using S53WW Contest logging program - VHFCTEST which is very popular in our region. You could download it here or visit S53WW home page. Try it - it is very easy to use it! Last version is VHFCTEST 3.0f (412kb)
