Fielday PA2014CC .......

I had to think a while how to call this post.....

Shameless advertising might be a good title as well....
And as i am shamelessly advertising on my site, i might as well shamelessly copy qrz.com as well... I am sure Raymond (pa7ray) won mind.....
This is about the local chapters of the 2 major dutch HAM organisations Veron and VRZA


On June 21, VRZA and VERON are jointly going to host a Field Day on a dike called Houtribdijk. How Dutch can it be HI. 
The dike (which is 23 kilometer long) is located in between the cities Lelystad and Enkhuizen in The Netherlands. Our QTH is halfway of the dike at Checkpoint Charlie. Coordinates: 52.38'6"N 5.24'56"E.

A Cessna 150 with 2 pilots will fly over our QTH for both our associations especially and will make radio contact with our ground station.See the "Trailer" on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz6IyvvkZC8

The QSL-card is only available via the bureau.






So you might wonder why i am adding this to my site..... well.... I will be one of the operators there and I am hoping to talk to a lot of you guys....
If things go well, I will have an internet connection available and I will post frequencies as they are being used.
Don't forget to watch the dx cluster, and don't hesitate to give us a shout...

hope to hear you Saturday!

  2. Hi Kate,

    If you are a registered HAM or SWL, you get the ability to send and receive QSL cards via the qsl buro. This is a service maintained bij hams to distribute all the QSL cards almost everywhere around the globe free of charge.
    So thats what the QSL via Bureau means....
    Awesome you heard me :) one of the reasons i wrote the blog article to begine with.

    Thanks for reading my blog!
