as important railway crossing. There were three bridges built over

In
1995, a few radioamateurs who were resident
in nearby radioclubs (RC) decided to form RC of their own - RC "Zidani
Most". In next three years number of members climbed to over
50.
All RC in Slovenia are members of national organi-zation of
radioamateurs ZRS. When formed RC Zidani Most became exactly 100th
member of ZRS so number 1 was given as a part of callsign (instead of
num-ber 9 which is common for S5 RC calls).
Current
number of members RC is 41. They don't all live in Zidani Most and
as it seems to be in all RCs - not all of them are
active.
RC's callsign is heard mostly on VHF and is regu-lary
present in S5 Maraton contest, Pokupje, etc. Members of S51DZI can be
heard also in S5 U/VHF, IARU VHF, Alpe Adria, etc.Operaters who passed at
least Class II. (CEPT:2) are also active in HF area.
A beautiful
cottage was built in Sirje, just by members of RC. Should become a centre
of radio-activity when finished(See FOTO).
