PB50REM - special event station To celebrate the 50th anniversary on the construction of the North Sea Platform [REM-eiland], special event station PB50REM will be activated in the 'Houthavens', Amsterdam. In 1964 the platform was activated for broadcast purposes near Noordwijk (JO22dg) in the North Sea, and was later stripped of her mast to function as measuring post for the"Rijkswaterstaat", the water-department of the Ministry of Public Works. In 2006, the "Rijkswaterstaat" terminated their activities, and there was only one day operation by PB6REM. In 2011, the platform was renovated and placed in the "Houthavens" in Amsterdam as a restaurant. Two members of the PB6REM crew and some friends will activate this platform on Friday, September 26th, using the callsign PB50REM on the HF bands and 2 meters. WW-Locator is JO22KJ. QSL Manager is PA7DA. Please, QSL via the Dutch QSL Bureau. For more details, see: http://pg6n.jouwweb.nl/pb50rem
