Hello Vlado.

I have tried to contact you in order to get your Z3FF-003, but your sigs were very weak, most of time like a presence. Unfortunately there were so poor condx today. I am soo sad.
I was successful to catch a few SOTA's, OE, HB9, F6 and EA5 on 20 m band today. They were very weak also, but with little bit more success.

Hi Vit
I didn't heard your call. The last days propagation was much better on 80m. Hope to meet you another time, Z3FF-0009 is 15 minutes by foot from my home and I operate very often from this protected area.

I did not called you, Vlado, because I've did not heard your signals well enough to be sure to take your answer if you hear me. I've been follow you long time and listening frequency, when I saw you in the cluster))
As it turned out, I live also very close to a pair of similar protected areas, RFF-200 and RFF-199. I suppose to be QRV often from there.
For example, perhaps even this afternoon from RFF-200 in order to close my Marathon 2016 )).

BTW, Stan RD2A (UA3LMR) lives in Moscow just between those areas close to my QTH.

Happy New Year! Hope to see you in our next, 2017, Marathon.

73! Vit, RN3ANT

From the perspective of Marathon participant working from WWFF areas or in other programs gives advantage to make a lot of contacts in short period of time. The negative part is that most of them are duplicate contacts not valid for Marathon's score, hi
