PG7V was active from PAFF-064 (IOTA EU-038)

CW operation during field day contest from PAFF-064
 
During the weekend of 1 and 2 june 2013 JanJaap PG7V was QRV from the island of Vlieland, EU-038. A part of the island is a nature reserve with reference PAFF-064. This was the first activation of this reference.
 
It is not allowed to take a car on to the island so JanJaap brought his stuff (radio + tent) by bicycle. He worked QRP and although he tried some SSB he only logged CW contacts.

Two weekend activities from PAFF

This weekend we will have Nick PA2NJC trying his first PAFF activity from De Meinweg (PAFF-008). He will be active on Saturday morning from around 10 UTC.

PAFF veteran JanJaap PG7V will be active the whole weekend from the island Vlieland (IOTA EU-038), activating the new PAFF-064. He is active in the IARU R1 Fieldday CW so if you contact him, please give him a serial number. Outside the contest he will try SSB as well.

Multi operator activity from PAFF-048 this Friday (May 10)

So far Hans and I have worked together to run the PAFF program and we have been active from the same references with only as little as one day in between, but we never activated a reference together.

This Friday will change that when we go over to Ooijpolder & Millingerwaard. We expect to be active from around 12:30 to about 16:30 UTC. 

The operation might be hampered by rain - as it seems we have to operate outside to be inside the nature park.

PG7V was active from PAFF-069

JanJaap PG7V used the excuse of a new portable antenna to go out and activate PAFF-069 - Ugchelen Hoenderloo.
Working QRP the conditions turned out to be challenging.
