In recent years, the Netherlands has witnessed a remarkable resurgence of packet radio, a digital communication technology that utilizes radio signals to transmit data. This revival can be largely attributed to a group of passionate amateur radio operators in the Noord-Holland region, who have reignited interest in packet radio on the 2 meter amateur band….

Together with Nico PA4NIC, Fred PE3FS, Carlo PA1LCS, Rene PE1LFI and some more supporters. Fred PE3FS edited a small video…
