Biography

I would like to introduce myself, my name is Rik.

I stopped being a radio amateur about 1988.

I was also a listening radio amateur until then, under NL4403.

In mid-Oktober 2023, I picked up this wonderful hobby again and started studying to pass my radio broadcasting exam.

On July 30, 2024, I passed my exam and on July 31, 2024, I registered as a "PDØDEX".

The suffix DEX comes from the preferred name of our dear German Shepherd "DEXTER". (Silent key)

Now i have en new dog named "Sybe".
