Biography
I'm swl since june 1980 and worked more then 209 dxcc countries and confirmed about 120 dxcc countries most on HF between 0-30 Mhz on CW,SSB,RTTY and PSK31.
Dx is still giving me lots of fun and i have been living mostly here in the Netherlands but i lived 8 years in the Philippines from 2001 - 2009 and also from there i used to be swl as DU9/NL10704 so i came back in the Netherlands and became a member of V.E.R.O.N.again and i even could get back my "old" swl callsign.My wife and children are living still in the Philippines and me i gotto earn money for me and my family so that's the reason why i am back in my country but when i'm retired i will live permanently in the Philippines.Me i was born in 1959 and my wife in 1969 we got 4 sons and two daughters!My work is machine operator in the food industries and there will be chocolate produced in an American company here in Deventer,Netherlands.Me i'm born in the west part of the Netherlands in a village called Noordwijk in the provice South Holland close to the see and during this time i live already many years in the East part of the Netherlands.Well i will quit now hope you read this with pleasure and by the way i also like BCL(broadcast listening)and and with this i heard about 125 countries all over the world.
