Biography

PA2OLD
I have my license with the call-sign PE1IEI obtained in 1982. Many amateurs found this call-sign very hard to pronounce. Therefore I decided after 29 years to change the PE1IEI call-sign. On May 24, 2011, my new call-sign is registered namely, PA2OLD.

History
After 13 years' absence I am now QRV again.
Much has changed in those 13 years, for instance the C license is now 'Full License'
and we may now work the whole SW band.

New Website
My PA2OLD Website is online.
I expand all the time the site with new Ham articles.

You can find there many articles about HAM radio, especialy about the little Baofeng radios and the 4 meter band, but also some photos of my tape-recoder collection.
