1A0C 2014 (last update 2024/11/11)

1A0C was activated from 28 Dec 2014 to 6 Jan 2015.

Team: DL8YHR EA5HPX EA5KM EA5RM EA7AJR IN3ZNR IW0DJB IZ4AKS JH4RHF

It was an unique occasion for 1A0 to be activated in winter, as most of activations happened in summer for logistic reasons.

For me personally, it was a bit tough, as I had an urgent canser operation in beginning of December 2014, followed by one chemotherapy on 24 Dec. Though I was available at that period, I was not so energiful during the whole period.
Meanwhile, it was an unique memorable moment to celebrate the new year at the unique place.

Some photos are shown below.
