Biography

I was interested in radio from about the age of 10. When I was about 16, I was building 3m transmitters, which were not legal. I got my first callsign in 1979, PE1CWE. In the early 90's I did my morse exam and my callsign was changed to PA3FTD. In 2006, when it was possible (again) to chose your own callsign, I changed to PA2JS and finally into PA0JSY. After having used SSB, FT8 et cetera, I returned back to CW. I only use the microphone on 2m FM for local ragchew. XYL Hester is my princess. We laugh a lot and she let me do my radio-thing. To her all equipment is "black with knobs", hi. 

Equipment is changing all the time, but at this moment IC7600, IC7400, IC7410 and a IC2730e. Some homemade equipment like a QMX and the Iler 40mk2. On the roof 8jxx2, a 3 el beam for 6m, a vertical for VHF/UHF. In the garden a Hustler 6BTV.
