Pile-Up Control System (PUCS)

Question: how do you control the incoming requests for QSO's of eager operators? Answer: let's all use PUCS (both sides of the potential QSO).

OM Barry, PC1K, heard our challenge and in a very short time helped us set up a Pile-Up Control System. Working the system shown here is very simple:

1. If there is an empty field available: type your callsign or SWL number and press Submit.

2. Your call/number will be called by our team and after we have logged your call/number in QRZ.com, your call/number will disappear from the screen and open up a new empty field for other users to be used.

With this system we will keep pile-ups more manageable and the flow running.

The future SES logbook (PA82AD):

PA 82 AD     During the celebration of 80 years of freedom in the Netherlands, on the 5th of May this year, we were operational at the centre of the festivities.  80 years ago, the Germans signed the colaboration in Wageningen, in Hotel de Wereld.  A very famous location, and every year since, there are some major parties, and festivities to celebrate Freedom.  Close to Hotel de Wereld, there is a park, in which a lot of re-enactors did put up a very neat presentation of how it was 80 years ago.  We were granted to be present at the same location, and were on air from 3rd till the 6th May 2025.    PA82AD: Good for 2 points from the Dutch Radio Scouting Award
