On April 25, 2026, members of PH81LIB, WW2 memorial station, conducted a commemorative broadcast from the Historical Museum for the 'Battle of Hedel', exactly 81 years ago. Additionally, the adjacent Hedel Castle PA-00148 was activated during the event.
During the activation, we had the pleasure of welcoming various visitors to the museum and the station, and providing explanations regarding the activation and PH81LIB. It was a beautiful day, featuring many enjoyable QSOs between us. Unfortunately, reception at the location was poor. There was a lot of interference/noise, and we struggled to pick up the connections. Fortunately, CW made the difference, and this worked better. By the end of the afternoon, conditions had improved, and we were able to successfully complete the activation.
Present at the activation were PA0NLD Herman, ON5PU Paul, PE1LR Yuri, PF1SCT Frank, and PE1NLK Marc.
