Biography

Hallo I am Eddy ( Ed ) from Herzele Belgium. I am in the air since 1978.When I retired the radiobug hit me, and get me started for a Harec license. In the years following I upgrated my license and went from ON7VA and for special events the call being used is OP7V .

Since 2002 we live in the countryside in a very small village of Sint-Lievens-Esse with only 2067 inhabitants between the hills and the green landscape of the Flemish Ardennes and 25 km south-East of Ghent.​
