Biography

In the late 60's and early 70's I worked for a short period (abt 5 years) as a R/O in the Dutch merchant navy; after that I spent 4 years in the Royal Neth. Airforce as a nco radio-operator. After more than 40 years of radio silence I became 'radio-active' again in 2010, thanks to two ex collegues (merchant navy resp. RNLAF) who are both experienced hamradio operators. Work mostly CW and FT8. I am a crewmember of PI4ADL, the historical radiostation of Aviodrome Aviationmuseum at QTH Lelystad.
