The famous Dutch (PACC) contest is on this weekend. Of course this is the contest to do as Dutch hamradio operator, since everyone is calling for the Netherlands. The exchange is the province abbreviation. For me that will be GR. Last year I became third in the SO QRP section which is always a mixed mode section. I earned a trophy for that as you can see in the picture.
First of all I cannot take part the whole contest since I have family obligations. Not shure when I will be having time to be on the radio. But at least I will take part for as much as I possible can. I don't need a high place in the QRP section again. So I'm not shure if I will take part in the QRP section at all. I might take part in the SO LOW CW.
My goals are different from other years. Because of my ongoing CW training I will do only CW this time. My biggest goal is to make less errors, that will not be an easy task. Another goal is to work all the participants in the (dutch) CWA intermediate course. PE2V Vincent, PA3GPX Rene, PA3KL Kees, PA8E Jim and PA1DI Dick. I see them every week at the video meeting and hope to finally work them on air.
Below the map of the Netherlands with the province abbreviations. I'm located at the right upper corner of the country right at the coast. My call will not be PE4BAS but I will use my contestcall PA6G.
If you as reader likes to take part, you're welcome. Info here
