Call: PA9RF ex PA7JS /PA3CWZ / PE1INI / PD0KGX. Name Jack Schuurman.   

It started when I was 10 years old and my father came to me and said, "well I have some books with schematics from radio on shortwave to be built by you your own". So it started with the little one you know with the xtal receiver without a battery in it. And so, I have built a lot of superradio's for shortwave and Medium wave with a 455 KHz oscillator in it. A few years later, I was 13 I think, I made contacts all over the world on the 11 meterband. Later on at the end of the 70's I studied with a couple of amateurs from the region and I got the licence required for operation on VHF. 2 years later I got the big hunting licence so now I'm stalking the HF bands.

Antenne tower 15 meter Aluminum.

The antenna's and Radio,s I,m  using  currently are :

GP6 for vhf, Discone D130 Local frequenty, X50 Vhf Uhf for repeater frequenty's.

HF --3elm  10/15/20/40 mtr Pro-sis-tel.it PST54.

HF -- Rotary dipole 12/17 mtr Pro-sis-tel.it. PST54/40MTR on the same boom.

Open dipole for 80 meterband.

My Rig's -- FTDx-101D with Acom 1010, FT736r.

Old RIG iCOM IC-210 ,TS700g

This is roughly the equipment I use,

 See you on the bands, 73's Jack PA9RF
