World Service, our group of hams has been granted use of the antennas
during their "dead hours" on the HF bands.
In addition to our other locations, we anticipate being active on HF daily
between 1230 and 1830 UT from the Radio Netherlands facility. We expect to
utilize this opportunity on 30, 20, 15 and 17 meters. Radio Netherlands is
also expected to air a special program dedicated to the new status of the
radio amateurs on Sunday, October 10th.
More information will be available on the Radio Netherlands' website
or on DXpedition site
Contacts with schools.
Between October 11th-15th, the World Service's facility will also serve
another purpose. A group of schoolchildren from Bonaire will be contacting
another group of children in the Netherlands who will be the guest of
Dutch ham PD1DX. This will provide an opportunity for the group of new
Dutch country citizens to ask each other questions in order to get to know
one other a little bit better.
