Biography

I got my first radio amateur license in 1979 when I was 13 years old.
My native radio club I joined for a first time is LZ2KSB. I'm still member there :

Since 2008 I live in Belgium. Just after six months of my official residence permission I applied for ON8LDS at first as well as for OR2F a bit later.
Since the end of 2008 I'm regular member of UBA, section OSB :

Originally I'm master engineer in marine communications. Nowadays I work in electronic industry. My present challenge is to develop whole the shack automation myself.

I'm interested in HF contesting, CW and SSB ... no digital modes, neither in QSL collection (nothing personal to anyone !) But I still keep some available QSL-stock and always reply to all received direct QSLs.
Hope to see you on the air in contests !
