Hi, I am 44 years old and licenced since 1997. I use a kenwood ts870s, modified with inrad filters, back-up is a  Yaesu ft-450. My antennas are an optibeam OB 11/3 tribander for 10,15 and 20m, a 3 element monoband 17m ZX-yagi, a 4 element monoband 12m ZX-yagi, a vertical AV-620 HY-Gain for listening, a homebrew wire dipole for 80m, a homebrew inverted V for 40m. In the mobile next to the VHF radio I use an Icom Ic-7000 and some monoband whips on a tri-magnet foot to go on HF. Some extra power in the shack is coming from a UK amp explorer 1200, very usefull in pile-ups and handy to work DX-peditions. Logging software is DX4WIN. Activating each year during the int. lighthouse weekend BEL-001 in Blankenberge, along with ON4CCC and ON7RU.

Like to work DX-pedetions, Iota and rare DX.

17m is my favourite band, when conditions are good, you'll find me there. 73 de Luc.
