Biography

Hi,

my name is Jo and I live in the little village Puth (100 ASL) which is located in the south part of the Netherlands between the border of Belgium and Germany.

Since just a few years I'm a licensed radio amateur.

At home I use for HF only an indoor antenna. (Wire loop under roof) For 2 meters and 70 cm I have a little outdoor antenna; the Diamond X-50N.

My transceivers at home are the Kenwood TS-590S and the Kenwood TM-V71E.

In the field and on holiday I used the Yaesu QRP transceiver FT817nd in combination with the home build antenna and a Z-match you can see below. The antenna is usable from 160 up to 6 meters. Lateron I use the Yaesu FT857d.

Thanks for stepping by and I hope to meet you soon (again) on the frequency.

Best regards, Jo
