We have been busy over the past few months organizing the KAR Market. This annual radio market will be held on Sunday, December 21, and will take place at community center Bruis, Markt 6 in Bladel, the Netherlands. In addition to 40 vendors displaying their goods on a total of 250m tables, there will be five lectures, as well as a kids’ corner to introduce the hobby.
And 93-year-old Louis PA0LCE will be operating the QO-100 demo station in CW and SSB. So if you’re in the area…

@kr1st Alex, QRV on 6m? Big opening to Europe !

On Friday evening, we had a great gathering of the CW and DX enthusiasts WhatsApp group of hams from the local area. We shared wonderful stories and brought our rarest Morse keys. And of course, there was beer! Thanks, PA3GUO.

W00t! Worked V73WW in Marshall Islands on 20m for an ATNO using CW #hamr #cloudlog on their last days at the islands. Thanks OP Sven DJ4MX for picking my call!

The household (the spouse and two dachshunds) has voted by majority that I must participate in the #UBA #contest remotely from the living room instead of in the shack in the attic. The Easter eggs make up for a lot. #HamContests

Did a bit of CW contesting this weekend. At sunrise on 40 en 80m (amazing what difference half an hour makes at sunrise, could easily work even the weakest signals with 100w on 40m) and the higher bands from 14 tot 19z. Fun! #hamcontest #arrldx #cw

Tired but satisfied after our participation in the PACC contest at PI4KAR. Worked 1046 CW and 469 SSB QSO's together with PA3AUC, PD3W, PE1ITR and PD1EDS in the Multi/Single category.
Worked some nice CW pile-ups but it is not uncommon for all stations to call zero beat over each other making it impossible to even make out a single character (at least for me 🤔). Tremendous fun! Thanks all for calling! HC06S HC30S @hamchallenge #hamchallenge
