Biography

Hi,

January 2012, de PD0RBX back on the air again after a period of 16 years silence.

I did my exam in april 1991 and was active for several years at 145 Mhz-2mtr.

The interest in the hobby which began to decline and after a few removals, no antenna's on the roof was the end of the radio activities.
Became a dad in 2000 so there was no time for the hobby at all in that period!

But in january 2012 i wanted to use my FT-470 porto from the car, i had to activate my call sign again by the Agentschap Telecom.

For now i am mobile (APRS PD0RBX-9) or at home on 2 mtr and 70 cm in fm and sometimes active on HF in ssb and some digimode's PSK 31,JT65,FT8 and SSTV.
