5. Ας γνωριστούμε

Dear SV5 - friends and other Greek friends,

May I introduce myself:

My callsign is ON6DSL and operator name Luc and I am 50 years old. Married with Annemie and have three grown up children. Daughters Liesbeth and Vanessa they living on their own feet together with their husbands. Our son Nick (ON3DSN)is still living at home.

I probably have a QSO with you or I have obtained your callsign through an good friend radioamateur ON8VA Chris or I see your callsign on the DX-cluster.

ON8VA Chris, he was a few weeks ago on holiday on Rhodes island.

We love Greece (3 times Crete - 1 time Kos) and his islands so we decided to go this year on holiday to the island Rhodes.

We will stay at the Kalithea Horizon Royal Hotel from Sunday 01/08/2010 untill Sunday 08/01/2010 and hope to enjoy this stay.

Our goal is to get out every day and making car trips over the whole island but also to participate in the SOTA award program.

SOTA = Summits On The Air.

On the island Rhodes there are 5 mountains with have a SOTA reference:

I hope to activate all these summits during my (our) stay on the island.
