There is something about me

When Woodstock festival had been realized (Summer of '69), I just was born. Although I prefer Rock and Roll music ( Charlie Daniels Band, Flash Cadillac, Elvis Presley) I chose AMATEUR RADIO work to my main hobby.

In my childhood I shared my freetime between waterpolo trainings and equipment buildings.

Now I work in a telecommunication firm, as a technical engineer. We install and repair the big telephone-switching systems all around the country. I like this job, but my real interests area is the wireless communication.

In the last 20 years I wrote by the dozen technical articles for the greatest hungarian amateur magazine - RADIOTECHNIKA.

Fortunately I have opportunity to construct different kind of equipments (e.g. transceivers, power amplifiers, antennas). I accept the trend, that more and more people buy the professional tools, but I try to make the most part of my station by myself.

In the recent past I designed and created a 2 elements 80m Yagi antenna. It was one of my wildest dreams, that came true at the spring of 2011. This Yagi covers the whole 80m band in 6 different switchable segments. My main radio is an IC-765 transceiver and the next antennas:

-2 el. Yagi on 80m

-2 el. Cubical Quad on 40m

-2 el. Cubical Quad on 30m

-2 el. Cubical Quad on 20/15/10m

I like short wave operation, not especially the contesting, but the DXing on the lower bands. Me and some friends of mine usually build different kind of antennas at my QTH, where I have to do a lot of gardening work too (mainly in summer).

So, that's all about myself, I hope we'll meet at amateur bands.73! Peter
