Testing my homemade Endfed antenna for 20 meter in the park near my house. The idea came from the website qrpguys.com and today was a nice sunny day so I took my Mountain Topper qrp and the Endfed to the park and even made a qso with PA0ASD.

![Het laatste snufje der draadlooze telegrafie - 1924
Stomme film
Deel uit Nederlandse Pathé bioscoopnieuws, hoe Franse dames via hun kousen [ja echt] en een paraplu naar de radio konden luisteren welke door de omroep in de Eiffel-toren werd uitgezonden.
Op 5 november 1898, deed Eugène Ducretet de eerste draadloze telegrafie testen tussen de Eiffel-toren en het Partheon (een afstand van 4 kilometer). De zender was geinstalleerd boven in de toren. In 1899 gingen de radiogolven over het Kanaal voor de eerste keer.
Vanaf 1921, eerst als experiment, werd door een prive zender uitgezonden met muziek, colums en als laatst het Journal Parlé (gesproken nieuws). Vanaf 1925 werd deze ontvangen door amateurs met simpele kristal ontvangers. Radio Tour-Eiffel was zeer bekend bij de Parijzenaars van die tijd.

Silent movie
Part out of the Dutch Pathé cinemanews, how French ladies via their stockings [yes really] and an umbrella could listen to the broadcasts of the radiostation on top of the Eiffel-tower.
On the 5th November 1898, Eugène Ducretet carried out the first wireless telegraphy trials between the Eiffel Tower and the Pantheon (a distance of 4 km). The transmitter was installed at the top of
the Tower. In 1899, the waves crossed the Channel for the first time.
From 1921, at first as an experiment, a civilian transmitter broadcast music programmes, columns, and lastly the Journal Parlé (spoken news) from 1925, picked up by amateurs on simple crystal radio sets. Radio Tour-Eiffel was well-known to Parisians at the time.

![Big Brother goes to Mars - Radio Netherlands Worldwide 12072012
Dutchman Bas Lansdorp has unveiled what he calls serious plans to send a mission of four astronauts to live on Mars. According to Lansdorp, the technology exists to realise the plan within a decade, but it will be a one-way ticket to the red planet.
Mr. Lansdorp says the Mars One project would cost approximately six billion US dollars. No taxpayers money would be involved. The commercial operation would be financed by selling television rights to watch the technical Big Brother reality show.

![Overhoeks skyscraper Amsterdam
I had the possibility to have look on one of the highest buildings in Amsterdam.
Overhoeks is around 100 meters high and what a place to have an amateurradio-repeater ....
Well maybe in the [near] future
In this building the Royal Shell had his headoffice but they moved and the building is now empty, no powersupply, no lights, nothing at all... spooky :-)
Sorry for the moving pictures, there was a lot of wind on the roof...
