Logbook & on-air activity
Explore real-time operating records, past DX contacts, and ongoing activity from the PD3CFG ham radio shack in Apeldoorn, Netherlands. Discover band conditions, contact milestones, and digital modes logged across the airwaves.
Recent contacts and DXpeditions
Logging radio contacts is at the core of ham radio operations. From local European nets on VHF/UHF to long-distance HF contacts with rare DX stations across continents, each entry captures signal reports, propagation paths, and memorable moments over the air.
Digital modes and weak signal operations
When atmospheric noise is high or propagation is marginal, digital modes like FT8, FT4, and JS8Call push weak signals across great distances. Here we track digital exchanges, PSKReporter reception maps, and automated logging synchronized with online archives.
Contest participation and field days
Testing operational stamina and antenna performance during international contests and field events highlights the station's capabilities. Review score breakdowns, total multipliers worked, and key insights gained from high-pace weekend events.
