Biography
Hello OMs, SWLs,
Born in 1939 in Liège (city close Germany and Holland).
I got my license in 1978 with the callsign ON7VA, active at QTH Vinalmont (nr Huy) during 7 years, after I stop for 22 years all activities.
Now lived in Anderlecht for over 12 years,so one day I decide to resume.
My main interest is still CW operation and antennas building, interest began in 1956 when I joined the merchant navy. Now retraited I enjoy just chat on cw, I'm not looking after awards.
I am a member of FISTS, SKCC and CFT (Belgian).Unfortunatly due the situation I work with a small sloped endfed antenna (7,6m) on 40m band.
I am active allmost everydays on the 40 meters band (cq 7.034 khz). With many local houses around me, the band noise are notably high.
I like the use of my Hi-Mound MK-701 key, guess the best way for me to meet you .
I let my fingers do the talking
