Biography

Hello, my name is Allan Stromstedt, SM5ELF. and I have been a radio amateur since 1974.

I also use the call sign SM5A when I am in Juresta which is about 20 km north of Nykoping, and M0GZX when I’m in England.

I disassembled my first radio set when I was 5 years old and to my mother's great surprise put it back together again - after many tears!. Since then, my main interest has been radio technology.

My computer interest began in the 70’s when Nordkvist & Berg released a computer kit that used hexadecimal programming. After that I built 3 other different types of computers.

I have in one way or another worked with radio, electronics and computers throughout my career.
