Playing with Radio, was also used as an opportunity to set a new and unique record in the Guinness Book of World Records.  Frans Verheyden and Staf Bleeckx initiated the attempt, which resulted in a team making a Morse contact on all amateur radio frequencies between 80m and 70cm at June 28, 1986.

The world record was also attended by the TV crew of the famous Dutch Chriet Titulaer who had at that time a weekly TV show on technolgy.  After the recordings which were aired on Nederland 2 - November 21st, he also spoke with Egbert Hertsen demonstrating amateur radio communications with the Space Shuttle.
