I was first licensed in 1979

I was plumber 25 year. 2000 year, january 20 days and got sick I had to retire. I workig VHF, UHF, NAC. Some times MS . HF is psk and sstv, some times ssb. My tranceiver is Yaesu FT 897, VHF antenna 4x14 element yagi, 22m height from the ground. UHF 2x 14 element yagi, some boom. HF antenna G5RV, Butternut. My other hobbies are metal work, woodwork too. Computing together radio and made my home page, and digital photography. I walk normally in the forest and I listen to sounds of forest animals. My home page is http://koti.mbnet.fi/aholin/

Dream came true and I got a 20m mono band Beam on the mast. Alone, it still had to be lifted up. It now runs very well and VHF-UHF Yagis will still work, even though the 20M beam is about 1 meter below.
