DL7APV EME calendar

Lunar weekend calendar DL7APV 2025

Bern DL7APV was for many years the editor and publisher of this calendar. The last time I visited him in April 2024, when we shook hands and parted, he said to me in a weak and tired voice, "Keep the calendar going if you can. Our friends and the community need it". Bernd, I'm fulfilling your last wish, my dear friend.
