Members of the Radio Amateur Association of Western Greece will activate the Special Event Station SX14ASTRO between July 22nd to August 5th in order to celebrate the 14th Panhellenic Meeting of Amateur Astronomers. The station will be on the air on HF, VHF, and UHF amateur bands.
The 14th Panhellenic Expedition of Amateur Astronomers will take place this year in Drymonas Thermos, at 1200 meters altitude, from 29 to 31 July 2022. The 12th meeting was held in the same place in 2018. Then we activated SX12ASTRO.
