Hi,
I'm ON3LB, name is Luke, living in Antwerp /Belgium. i'm a Ham since 1980, and had different callsigns trough the years (on8py - on9aav).
I found 4hv, after enjoying some fun last week on the ham meeting, with a jacobsladder.
I've worked on a TC years ago, and got bitten by the HV bug again

.
Working conditions :
Yaesu FT 817,TR-9000, 20m dipole, Permanent WIFI link over 7.5 Km using a 21db Grid antenna, and a commercial AP. I'm also a memeber of WirelessAntwerpen a ham wifi group who established a full wifi network over our town (

At the moment working on a minirailgun project, and getting all parts. The Cap Charging unit is finished, and working.

Nice to hear this board has lot's of Ham's, sadly enough none from Belgium (as far that I know)

My echolink node nr : 78206
QRV local on : 438.800 Mhz
Echolink Repeater : 430.150 Mhz (Antwerp)

Added some pic's of the antenna and small shack

73's to ya all

Hi,

My call is PE2GRT, I am a British expatriate living in the Netherlands. I'm always up for a good chat in English no matter :) I rarely get to use the radio these days but you could give me an excuse to put some time into it.

I also idle in #iota and #cqdx from time to time on the CQDX IRC server irc.radiochat.org - useful for picking up a sked sometimes.

Well i got my license in 2000 (KB1FOU) at age thirteen. I had a handheld up untill this past christmas when the antenna snapped off at the connector. It was a Yeasu vx-150. i havent had much time to try and repaire it, and i dont have another rig or any money to buy one.

So for the past few months ive been listening in on the fourtey meter band with a modded signal core surplus radio. Its a little depressing but with college and having to set up some kin of respectable life i just havent had the time.

Im hopeing to get cw and my next ticket but, again i dont have to time. im on Echolink a little , but i really dont consider it a real mode of operation.

Im also hoping to participate in Army MARS sometime soon.

That sums it about up...

Wayne, I'd strongly recommend you try for your general class ticket. You'd be amazed what you can do on 40 meters with a $15 transmitter and a bit of wire. It is time consuming, but it only really took me a week to get the code down pat once I found a lull in life where I had a few down days.

Had the call since 1975 it used to be a technician license but they have dropped the morse requirement here and I'm now a full license

I have a TS440s and IC211 although both have had no use over the last few years due to house renovations and sailing commitments. Set up a net and post and I might find the time to throw up an antenna

Whatever that first level is, could never get the hang of morse, so I never tried a harder test. They seem to be considering dropping that requirement, so I may be moving up soon.

Im Adam K, my station is located in the midlands, i run an old FT101-E HF set and i normaly use 80 meters phone, as its the widest, my antenna is at the moment a end fed long wire.

I also run a 2m rig as well, but i havent operated for a while.

VK8NPF, Standard licence in Australia.

I was active for a few months, then 2m kind of got very boring. Someday I'll start up again with HF equipment, whenever I have the time/can be bothered.

I usually just listen to the scanner instead. You'd be lucky to hear 10 minutes of chatter on 2m in our city. Its good how we have an IRLP node (6800) though, makes for some interesting listening sometimes.
