Hello and welcome to the Website of the PI4DX contest station,   

We are a contest station situated in the South West part of the Netherlands in the province of Zeeland, 

approximately 20 miles west of the North Sea coast. Our name, Contest Group Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, is derived from the part of Zeeland where our station is located. 

The idea to start this contest station arose in the early summer of 2008 when Erik PD1DX and Johan PD2DX had a conversation about the same goal to have a contest station in the province of Zeeland. 

PI4DX has a crew of 5 members; Willy PA3EVY, Erik PD1DX, Harm PC5Z, Maarten PD2R, Johan PD2DX.

The station is situated on a 4000m2 property owned by Erik. 

This part of the Netherlands is not heavily populated and as flat a the proverbial pancake. There are no natural or manmade obstacles to compromise our take off angles. 

We started out with two towers. The main tower is a free standing rotating tower which contains two Yagis for 40 and 10 meters. The second tower, which used the accommodate a TV antenna, is now used for the 15 meter Yagi. The third tower was constructed early summer of 2009.
It is a free standing, rotatable crank up tower which supports a stack of two 5 elements 20 meter Yagis, a 20 meter dipole and a 1/4 wave 160 meter vertical.

The station is built to operate Multi-Single, Multi-Two or SOAB in the high power category, All our antennas are homebrewed full size monobanders.
In our photo gallery you can find pictures of the construction of most of our towers and Yagis.

If you have any remarks or questions, please feel free to contact us or drop us a note in our guestbook. We would appreciate it.


We hope you enjoy our website.

See you in the pile up..!
