server-issues

Some of you have probably detected the server-issues during the past weeks which were based on a problem at the hosting-company. We will move in the near future to a new server. It can be that cotagroup will be in maintenance-mode and no uploads or award applications can be send for one or two days. Only for your info in advance. 73, Manfred DF6EX

World Castle Weekend 2020

As WCA has the 10year jubilee in 2020 the world-castle-weekend was extended to the period of 11.-21.june 2019. To improve also the number of activities from german castle COTA-team-germany offers the WCW-activator-award 2019. A minimum of 3 different castle locations in germany needs to be activated with a minimum of 50 contacts each, so altogether 150 contacts (of course more would be fine). The award can be applied by sending a list of the 3 different german castle locations to the log-address. Also the logs needs to be delivered as ADI-file.

DLFF-COTA-Meeting 02.05.2020 cancelled

Under the current situation we are sorry, but we have to cancel the planned DLFF-COTA-meeting.
Currently it´s not sure if the location for this event would be available again until this date and most important we want to make any personal risk for anybody.
So take care and stay at home. 73, good health
