Biography

Born in 1936

Married with Francine, we have a very kind daughter Nadine and 3 mixed dogs.

I finished my school in Luxembourg, in the "Lycée de garçons" in Luxembourg City, commercial section.

After having started in the administration of a big steel company, I switched over to technical jobs. Because the wall of the DDR (German Democratic Republic) fell down, I had to retire at the age of 57.

My ham radio operators license dates from 1979. I stopped the hobby in 2000. A very good friend LX1KE, Rudy whom I knew since 40 years and who faded away in 2016, asked me to use his rig the Drake TR7 line. I was proud to satisfy his wish and started installing everything and building antennas, sine November 2016 I am operating again. It makes me a lot of pleasure to operate the Drake line and to contact other OM's in so different countries.

The Drake TR7 works very well, my reports are very good, an it seems that the audio is perfect. I prefer the old rig, as I am myself an oldtimer. Hi,Hi.

I had a few other hobbies like model trains, shooting, dogs,etc. We have 3 nice and kind bastards.

73 to all my friends, contacts and contacts to come.
