BCC Buffet QSO Party 2020 – Rules
Meanwhile, everybody should know it: There will be no HAM Radio this year, and therefore also no BCC-Buffet. Nevertheless, we want to meet you – this time, on the air. We invite you to join our BCC-Buffet QSO-Party on Friday, June 26th, so we don’t get in conflict with other contests at this weekend. Please check in advance the year of your first visit of the HAM RADIO in Friedrichshafen (first event ever was in 1976…) – this will be your exchange in this party. Have fun!
