IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This is the first time we try something like this.
Due to the nature of the HamSphere system based on heavy digital audio processing, you may experience lagging or gaps in audio during the contest period. This is fully normal and the system is capable of handling over 100 simultaneos users at once. But congestions may occur. The system may also be restarted during the session. Please have patience!
We suggest that you check your equipment before the contest starts. We know that some of you still have problems using the system with messages like "System offline due to maintenance". These are Internet/port/firewall related problems and can be solved.
