Europe visits W5RRR Oct 29, 2024

 

It’s not too often the JSCARC gets visitors from overseas.  Last month, Ben OS4K, contacted us through our w5rrr.org website to inquire if a visit to the shack was possible.5000 miles later, Ben and his associate, Dr. Fabian Steinmann met us at the shack for a wonderful meet and greet.

John AB5SS and I served as JSCARC hosts for a delightful exchange with our overseas visitors. 

Ben is a super active ham operator from Belgium.  He’s a highly regarded contester and dabbles in portable ops (WWFF- a version of POTA) and mostly every other aspect of ham radio.  During the day, Ben is an Incident Management Officer at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium and a part time EMT.

Fabian is a PhD lecturer at the Cranfield School of Management in the UK and an expert and consultant in Organizational Resilience and Change.

Both Ben and Fabian were attending a collaboration meeting with the Port of Houston Authority regarding incident management.
