Welcome to Belgian Mills on the Air

Belgium is home to hundreds of historic windmills and watermills, each with its own unique story and an important place in our cultural heritage. Belgian Mills on the Air (BELMOTA) brings together two passions: outdoor amateur radio and Belgium's remarkable mill heritage.

Our mission is to encourage licensed radio amateurs to explore these beautiful locations, activate them on the amateur radio bands, and share their experiences with operators around the world. Every activation is an opportunity to enjoy nature, discover hidden gems, and help preserve awareness of Belgium's historic mills.

Whether you are an experienced activator, a dedicated chaser, or someone discovering outdoor amateur radio for the first time, BELMOTA offers an exciting way to combine adventure, history, and international radio communication.

Join us in celebrating Belgium's milling heritage — one contact, one activation, and one mill at a time.

Get outside! Explore! Activate! Preserve our heritage!
