Biography

Thanks for visiting my SWL station page.

My name is Jacco, born in 1969.
I live with my wife and daughter in the South-West part of Holland near by the North-Sea coast.
My profession: Chief engineer on sea going vessels and offshore jack up's all over the World.
The radio hobby started in the early 80's on the CB radio band.
Since 1992 i use the SWL call NL11673 @ radio club "VERON" in the Netherlands.
After a 10 year period of silence, I picked up the radio hobby again in 2012.
I have no interest in transmitting, I'm enjoy SWLing and monitoring the bands.
I like to listen to the ham bands and aviation communication on HF, VHF, UHF and SHF.
With MultiPSK i'm monitoring SELCAL and HFDL on the HF bands.
Also SSTV and FAX is one of my favorit modes.
I use my Furuno NX-300 for navtex DX, also a nice part of the radio hobby.
At the moment i'm busy with my SDR radio's, most of the time i'm use the Flex-6600, Elad FDM-S3 and Icom IC-R8600. Also installed a 65cm dish for Oscar 100 satellite reception.

I am a member of the ham radio amateur club Veron (Afd 16)(PI4GAC)https://www.veron.nl in the Netherlands.
