Welcome to my QRZ page! 

My name is Paul, alias PD1PME.  I do live in a small village called Gilze in the very south of the Netherlands.

Gilze has about 8000 inhabitants and is part of the Dutch community “Gilze-Rijen” close to the city of Tilburg and situated in the province of Brabant.  (Approx 100 KM South of the capital Amsterdam and 15 KM North of the Belgian border).   QTH  is at about 15 meters average above sea level according to the most recent NAP database (Normaal Amsterdams Peil or Amsterdam Ordnance Datum) 

Gilze-Rijen is well known  for its military Air Base, located exactly  between the two villages of Gilze and Rijen.  It’s a military airfield used by the Royal Air Force of the Netherlands  and is a major employer in the region.  It’s also one of the oldest airfields in the Netherlands, the first aircrafts have landed there in 1910!
