Biography
Hi, my name is Sander, I live in Capelle aan den IJssel, the Netherlands, just next to Rotterdam.
I got my novice license in 2013.
I live in an apartment on the eighth floor, where I am limited in placing antennas, but nevertheless I have been able to place a nice end-fed antenna for the 10 and 20 meter band. 2 Diamond X30's, one for using the VHF and UHF bands, and the other one is for the RTL-SDR and radio scanner to search the bands on the VHF and UHF.
For DMR I use a MMDVM simplex hotspot with a Retevis RT3S DMR portable radio and a Motorola DP2400e portable radio.
With the end-fed I have already been able to achieve very good results with WSPR.
I also use the end-fed for the other digital modes like FT-8, and sometimes with amazing results
