Contest & Fieldday Activities
Dear Visitor in this section of my Website I will try to give you a
summary of my activities related to fielddays and the leading
Contests in which I generally compete.
My first Fieldday participation was in 1968 together with ON4IF
and ON5MG. It was an exciting experiment, but after all we knew
that we had to learn the hard way to rich to top.
In 1972 we founded the " The Brussels DX Team " (BDX).
The founder members were:
ON4IF, George (†)
ON5MG, Gerard (†)
ON5GQ, Bernard
ON5SQ, SV0XAE Jacky,(†)
ON6GQ, Lillian (†)
ONL 1924, Michel ON4GO in 1974
For the Fieldday we chose a good location in the Ardennes,
a place named, ANLIERS.From that location we participated
several years in the CW Fieldday and each year we competed
under a different Call from a member.
Every year that we participated we won the first place Trophy.
I got the honor to get this Trophy in 1976.
(From this first period I didn't find any photograph, all my
souvenirs are on 8 mm film.)
Later on we moved to an other location around the area of
Vielsalm in 1985.
Meanwhile some new members joined the BDX Fieldday Team

ON7RN , Eric
ON7ZB, Bruno
ON5PV, Philippe
