This year's Estonian radio amateurs' summer camp was successfully held at Merelaiu puhkeküla (ES8-area, Pärnumaa) at the end of June. More than 200 participants enjoyed nice weather and good company of the fellow hams and their family members, the 100th anniversary of the Estonian amateur radio was celebrated with an evening wine-table and a huge decorated cake.

We have updated the Estonian "firsts" tables (DXCC count) on VUSHF bands, that can be followed from the link below. If you find that you have a QSO with an ES- (or former UR2-) station before the date in the table or that your country is not in the list at all (but you have a QSO), please let us know via e-mail to es2nj[ät]erau.ee. 

ES firsts on VUSHF

Gratefully,
