Nico 19IR011 informed us, that he received sad news from the XYL of 153IR012 (formerly 19IR012) Andre, that Andre passed away on the 4th of June 2025, at the age of 70.
When Andre still lived in the Netherlands, he and his wife Jeanette (RIP) did arrange the well-known IR-meetings at the Baseball Club “Blue Birds” where they did run the bar for the club. These meetings were unforgetable and always a lot of fun.
Andre did some activations : 59IR0 – 113IR/DX – 113ir/JM010 – Jamboree and he was member of the Crazy Outlaw team who made an Asia tour in 2001 – 58IR/DX – 153IR/AS-101 – 225IR/0.
RIP Andre

We invite you (IR members and non-IR members) to our annual IR-DX Fieldday 2025.
This year’s fieldday will be organised from Friday 1 August to Sunday 3 August in Switzerland.
Like previous fielddays, you will have a fun and relaxing weekend with or without radio and some face-to-face chatting, enjoying the beautiful surroundings and BBQing in the evening.
Contact us in advance, so we can advise you which route you can take the best to avoid the highway if you come by car, so it is not necessary to buy a special vignet, which needs to be bought, when you take the highway in Switzerland!
A few more months to go before the World Islands Festival is there, but all IR-DX members are invited to participate in the WIF Edition 2025 which will be held between 6th and 8th June 2025.
If you like to participate, please inform the IR-DX HQ also, so we can announce your activity !
You can participate in several ways, like portable, mobile or you live on an island.
If you are interested to join or want to know more about it, you can click the logo below !
