Two groups - the same idea

Independently from each other two groups of young hams had the same idea and the same travel destination: In autumn 2006, both, a Croatian team and a German team were planing to be first to activate the semi rare country of Liechtenstein (HBØ) in the Russian DX Contest. The Croatian team (9A2SX, 9A3AXX, 9A6XX, 9A8MM) booked «Chalet Wanni» whereas the German team (DJ4MZ, DK4YJ, DK5TX, DK9TN, DL5RMH) booked «Chalet Barsüla» at the same time - not knowing about each other's plans.

The laughter was loud as they found out about the other activity weeks later. Most members of both teams know each other for years and are very good friends, meeting each other annually on World Wide Young Contester (WWYC) meetings.

Unfortunately there is no M/M category in the Russian DX Contest, therefore both teams are sticking to their original plans: The HB0/DK4YJ team will participate as M/2 while the HB0/9A8MM team will enter the contest in the M/S category. All team members are looking forward to having a lot of fun during this joint DXpedition and first activation of Liechtenstein in the great Russian DX Contest.
