Via Southgate: Bicycle Mobile competition at ham radio event

VERON report a 144 MHz bicycle mobile competition will take place during this year’s DNAT amateur radio event

A translation of the VERON post reads:

It will not have escaped anyone’s attention that from August 25-28 the German Dutch Amateur Radio Days (DNAT) event will be organized again. But do you also know that the organization is once again offering a bicycle mobile competition this year?

This special competition starts on Saturday, August 27, 2022 at 10:30 am. The place of departure is the DNAT campsite “Am Badepark”. All additional information such as the rules, questions to be answered, proposed route and log sheets can be found at

So take your bike to Bad Bentheim to participate in this bicycle mobile contest. And that may well be a bit more modern than in the photo with this article. During this competition we only work on the 2 meter band. Fortunately, there are no long-wire antennas between bicycles to fear.
