Biography

Welcome and thanks for visiting my page,

my name is Ger and I was born, raised and still living in Schiedam, a city close to Rotterdam in the western part of The Netherlands. In 1980, at the age of 14, I bought my first CB-transceiver and made my first QSO's. In March 2013 I decided to make my old dream come true and I started studying for a license. Since October 2013 I now have my Novice license.

I'm using the Yaesu FT-950 with MD-100a8x microphone for HF with a vertical antenna on my balcony. I use my Yaesu FT-897D for 2/70 and also in the field with the HyEndFed multiband 10-20-40 antenna. I enjoy to make QRP contacts with my 10 meter handheld radio, the Albrecht AE-2990 AFS with the LRD-1012 rubber duck 27 inch whip antenna or with my Yaesu FT-817ND and MFJ-1899t multiband portable antenna. Sometimes you can hear me on DMR, I have a TYT MD-390 and I like the digital modes SSTV, FT8 and FT4 too.
