The Operator
In 1977,I started on the age of 12 with a very small president radio (AM). After about 1 year I moved into SSB on 11 meters with a yagi on the roof of my parents home. Till 1985, I used to be active on SSB and talked to many stations around the world. Then I resigned from the ether due to other priorities. After living many years abroad, I returned to The Netherlands a few years ago. In September 2018 I decided that it was time to get back on the air again and signed up to the exam and passed 2 months later.
