| Biography My name is Thomas,
and I reside in Einigen by Lake Thun in the Bernese Oberland.
In my free time, I engage in sports, explore nature, have an interest in astronomy, and enjoy reading. I also relish good food, go skiing, dance, swim, and have a passion for riding my Harley Davidson, Vespa, or electric scooter.
One of my major interests is amateur radio. I’ve been involved in SWL and CB radio since the 70s. In 1988, I obtained my amateur radio license with the callsign HB9TGF in HAREC Class B. The following year, I passed the Morse code exam at 60 words per minute and received the callsign HB9DTC in HAREC Class A. My preferred operating modes are SSB and all digital modes.
For receiving QSL cards, I prefer direct contact or sending them through a bureau. If sending directly, there’s no need to include return postage. I love eQSL cards, but please choose an imaginative design instead of a boring standard image. Be creative – you could even use a QSL card featuring my mother-in-law as the subject. That’s definitely more interesting than the usual headphone, antenna, or South Seas ship motifs.
What I dislike are arrogant or fanatical politicians and religious enthusiasts. Our world would be better off without them.
I’m looking forward to having a QSO with you!
