Biography

I am fascinated by radio since the age of 12 years. After starting with simple detector radios and learning a lot about electronics, I got my fist superhet receiver running with 22 years. After a long period of non-activity, I decided to refresh my hobby. I start again with a SDR radio from RFSystem and magnetic loops. With 52 years, I did the HB9 licence in May 2015. Since then I am working with a QRP station mainly on the 20m band. Current work is the improvement of the station and the antennas.
