For the first time ever I attented the VERON HF-dag (HF day) which is a meeting for dutch HF users last Saturday. The main reason to go was to get the trophy I won with my second place in the PACC section SO LOW SSB, the section with the most participants (137). Besides that there were presentations about the alternator transmitter Grimeton from Sweden by Ola Hernvall and tips on how to work DX and the DXpedition to Rotuma this year (3D2EU) by well known dutch DXpeditioner PA3EWP Ronald. There was also a FT8 presentation but we didn't go there since we were not interested. I was there with neighbourstation PD2TW Tjip who won the novice section of the PACC.
Well, the presentation from Mr. Hernvall was very interesting but though a bit too much into detail. So sleep overwhelmed most of us... The presentation with DX tips was nice, but actually I did know all the tips probabely because I am experienced and read the "complete DXer" from W9KNI in which the most basic tips are already described. What was most interesting was the presentation about 3D2EU, unfortenately not heard or worked by me (not enough time). I spoke to some other well known dutch operators as well and saw some faces now from well known dutch DXers. At the end we were tired but finally went home with our trophies...a nice day,
