In memory of our friend Bernd DL7APV

 Calendar of EME activities DL7APV

SK - 14th of April 2024

Bernd DL7APV was for many years the editor and publisher of this calendar. The last time I visited him in begining of 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.
