Picture shows me with my wife Eva and an oversized bottle of Sangria in EA3. In the meanwhile we have two lovely kids Josephine and Kevin.

My preferred HAM interests are shortwave, digimodes and HF propagation prediction.

I'm QRV in SSB * RTTY * PSK * JT65 on all bands from3.5 to 433 MHz

Also just starting with some meteor scatter on 144 MHz.

Feel free to contact me via skype ' frank.dd7zt ' or by mail to set up a sked on any band in any mode

I completed DXCC #43130 via LoTW only in september 2009:

And WAE III RTTY via DCL only in march 2010.

Currently I'm working on WAS and 5BDXCC (long way to go). Sometimes operating as SO2R from my station during some RTTY contests.

Message-of-the-day April 23rd 2008: Elecraft K3 #760 delivered

My station setup is an Elecraft K3 as main radio. Antennas therefore are:

• 80m -> Inv-L
• 40m -> rotary dipol
• WARC -> 3 band rotary dipol
• 20-6m -> 3 element SteppIR
• 10m -> lambda / 4 vertical
• Power: ACOM 1010 * about 700 W

As second radio during contests (SO2R) and also for 144 MHz I use a Yaesu FT-897D. All shortwave antennas are connected to both radios via an Array Solutions "Six Pak" switch. Antenna for VHF is a M2 12 element with a Tokyo Hy Power 200W amp. Currently I have no Rig for 433 MHz, but own a Tokyo Hy Power 120W amp connected to a 20 element KonniF-20 yagi.

You can find my log online at: http://dx.qsl.net/logs/ and some eQSL stuff atmy eQSL side.

PSE QSL via bureau or LoTW. Direct also welcome! TNX.
