At the invitation of The Curator Alf Fisher G3WSD, Shefford Club members
visited The Henlow Signals Museum to attempt a CW contact with 95 year old
Bram Grisnigt in the Netherlands. Bram, known during WW2 as St. Patrick of
Dutch Intelligence wanted to repeat a contact with the UK made seventy-five
years ago to the day when he was dropped into occupied Holland by a flight
from RAF Tempsford.

With Victor, G3JNB on the key and Andy, G4DAQ standing by as second op,
trial contacts were successfully made on 40m. However, on the actual day of
the memorial contact (Thurs. 20 September) 40m was not up to the
propagation needed for such short skip. Overall direction of the event was
being co-ordinated by the Amsterdam Dutch Resistance Museum and a change to
80m was tried. Brams message was copied at Duxford who had managed to have
an 80m aerial in use.

The event was televised and shown by the BBC breakfast show on 26 Sept.
Bram said he could still remember the code, although he had slowed down a
bit.
