WCA DL-01999 - Castle on the air

May 02 2016

Middle of June 2014, DL5DCL/p started his very first Castle on the Air project with various short activities from the Water Castle Landsberg, located in Erwitte / North Rhine Westphalia. WCA DL-01999 went QRT on August 31, 2014 with a final result of 610 contacts, all in CW. This was a first ever activation and should be an unique project. In 2015, WCA DL-01999 were reactivated by me on July 26 for one day with bad results. A very last avtivation took place on the German Castles Day, May 01, 2016. There will be no further activation, DL5DCL/p WCA DL-01999 is now QRT!
