Biography

Hello, I'm Roland, thank you for dropping by.
You will find me primarily on the HF bands. My radio interests are antennas,
HAM radio literature, a little bit of 'homebrewing' and transceiver repair. I got my license in 2002.

I'm a retired datacenter engineer, married, have three children and four grandchildren.

Have several radios and use them regularly:
Kenwood TS-830S, TS-780, IC-728, IC-821H, Yaesu FT-7B and Drake TR-4C. Additionally the Yaesu FT-817 and FT-857 for portable activities.

I use the following CW Keys: Junker: Straight Key, Schurr: Profi I, Portable and Bug, Palm: Pico Key and Paddle.

The radio logging program is UCXLog by DL7UCX.

I'm a member of the AGCW community.
