[OZ-CONTEST] OZ1ADL… a week of Radio !

[Jan Thogersen]

Wow....

What a week ...


My wife and daughter are in the US and my son is in Italy, so I have had plenty of time to play around and to spread the word about the World´s Best Hobby.

I did that by participating in the huge National Scout Jamboree, where members of EDR - Eksoerimenterende Danske Radioamatører - helped the Scouts make this a VERY Radioactive week with lots of precense - and 5 running stations, so there were plenty of opportunity to check  out the hobby and to 
participate in related activities, like building a dipole etc.

We also introduced the kids to Contesting and even held a license course on the premises and on thursday we hatched 12 new Hams, so our family is growing :-)

Here are a few pictures from the event, if you are interested
