Biography

Born in 1960.

Equipment

In my parent's house in KAYL - I've got the chance to work with a FD-4 Wire antenna ENTIRE UNDER THE ROOF. Also here, under the roof, some tests were made to work with one rotary element Quad 10-15-20m. Perhaps one or the other Oldies had had contact from 1977 to 1984 on SSB with a station in KAYL/Luxembourg working with a HF-Wire-Antenna under the roof.
That was me !!
Now times have changed.
In Huncherange (8km far away).
I'm working now with :
YAESU FT-dx-5000 (sometimes with my ACOM 1500) or FT-857D
into my Butternut HF2 or Double-Dipol for 40/80m
or into a 6 band-two element cubical-quad (6m -20m) on 3x8m high aluminum telescopic tower.
*** Sometimes the 20m feeder of the quad is used for 40m ***
