Biography

Thanks for looking me up

Let me introduce myself : My name is Evert. And I started with the radio hobby a long time ago, I was listening from about 1977. In my military service period from 1979/1980 I started studying for my N licence. And I got at the end of 1980 my N license with the call sign PD0JAT. Which I have upgraded to the C license in 1987 with the call sign PE1LZF.
Finally I learned CW (which is not really my favourite mode) and got my A license in 1991, I like all digital modes and SSB (or FM on 10 meter HI).

Regarding Scouting and my radio hobby I was running the Jota from 1980 until this year 2011 so 31 years now. And I’m also a Radio Scout Radio Interesse Stam RIS member #129 since 1988.

Regarding the digital modes I’m member #6522 from the the British Amateur Radio Teledata Group BARTG and member #2182 from the European PSK Club EPC. And also member #0530 from the Digital Mode Club DMC and member #052 from the Olivia modes club OMC. Also radio hobby related I’m collecting old radio’s and radio tubes. And I’m the owner of a working mechanical Telex and a Hell machine.

Regarding the VERON our Dutch Amateur radio club I was a chairman from the Vereniging Experimenteel Radio Onderzoek Nederland (VERON) department Rotterdam south from 1992 until 1997. And later vice chairman and Web master VERON department Hoekse Waard from 2000 until 2006. And from 2007 until now chairman and still Web master VERON department Hoekse Waard.
