Netherlands Special Event
On Sunday, September 7th, the 73th
annual National UNESCO Heritage Flower Parade of Zundert will be held.
This
event is visited every year by over 50,000 visitors. Just like every year,
the parade will have over 20 floats that will make a round-trip through the
center of Zundert.
On Monday, September 8th, the floats are exhibited on the
exhibition site of Zundert for visitors.
The 20 neighborhoods of Zundert and
surroundings will participate in this event with their own float. Look for

To celebrate this event, several radio-amateurs of VERON Section 54 will
activate the special callsigns PA73CORSO, PA73EBP and PA73LOU.
The reason
they have chosen the
73 callsign is that it also has a special meaning in
the amateur radio world.
The station PA73CORSO will be activated between August 12th and September
8th, from Zundert and surroundings. The highlight of this event will be on
Sunday, September 7th and Monday, September 8th, when the callsigns will
be activated from the exhibition site of Zundert.
The station PA73CORSO will be activated on all bands, HF and VHF and on
all modes. A special QSL card and a beautiful special award will be issued.
