PA3FKN
Sinds februari 2008 ben ik lid van de PACC-contestgroep PA3FKN. In het tweede weekend van februari deden we met een team van 10 personen weer mee aan de PACC-contest vanuit onze contestboerderij in Friesland.
We hebben ook een website: www.pa3fkn.nl

PA3DAT/J
Sinds 1979 neem ik deel aan de Jamboree On The Air (JOTA), een internationaal radio/scouting-evenement. De laatste jaren als "first operator" van PA3DAT/J, het Jota-station van de Vaandrig Lengton Groep in Zwolle. Dit jaar wordt dus mijn 32e keer zonder onderbreking!
In 2000 maakte ik er een website'je van, met onze Jota-2000 belevenissen in 165 foto's en 4 filmpjes!
