Biography

Licensed since 1977 and CW only. Manager for the Dutch PA-beker contest (yearly) and the NTC QSO parties (monthly). One of the founders of the Netherlands Telegraphy Club (club call PI4NTC). Member of several telegraphy clubs: SKCC, CWOPS, HSC, AGCW and many more...

I enjoy operating portable (on holidays and POTA). No contest except some QSO parties. Rag chewing is one of my favourites :-)

Equipment

My main rig is a Ten Tec Orion I with a Juma PA1000 amplifier. I am using a 2x14 meter doublet with an S-match on a crank-up mast. For 160 meters I have a 12 meter loaded vertical with a couple of short ground radials.
