L.S.
I'm active with radio from 1972. Through a teacher on school (he was a Ham), I got in contact with Hamradio. I started as SWL on HF and VHF up to 1981. In 1981 I got my novice-licence and my callsign became PD0MFW, two years later it changed to PE1KNA and again two years later the big license, PA3EKK. In 1998 the change to PA1AT. (Because 2 X "K" in CW is 1 X over, and is your call PA3EK.)

My QTH is in the north part of the Netherlands, in the City Assen, Well known from the Royal Dutch TT Motorraces; http://www.tt-assen.com






My HF antenna at Home is a Dipole with open line. 

In the Sporadic "E" Season I'm QRV on 4 Meter and 6 Meter bands. 

I´m member of: G-QRP (#6228),
BQC(#547),
DIG(#3643).
the crew from PI4AA
and 

I like your QSLcard via the QSL bureau. I send mostley for every QSO my QSLcard to you via the bureau.
I do NOTHING with E-QSL. 
I also run a Historical QSL Cards Collection from Dutch Hams, Dutch Club and Event Stations with pfx.: PA0, PA6, PI, PK, and other Dutch Event Callsigns (PG6, PB6, PA500 etc). And Dutch QSL-cards from the period before 1928 with the Prefix EN0. Also Photo material with HAM activities are very welcome.


I show these QSL-cards on big events in the Netherlands (Dag van de radio amateur DVRA-VERON and Het Noordelijk Amateur Treffen NAT and local meetings). If you have QSL-cards with Prefixes above, and you are willing to help me complete the collection, Send my an E-mail with some information; how many, via the post or other way etc.
(Information and the actual list missing QSL-cards via E-mail: pa1at @ veron.nl)

I'm a supporter of the DX CODE OF CONDUCT and therefore i will stick to the following rules:
-
I will listen, and listen, and then listen again before calling.
-
I will only call if I can copy the DX station properly.
-
I will not trust the DX cluster and will be sure of the DX station's call sign before calling.
-
I will not interfere with the DX station nor anyone calling and will never tune up on the DX frequency or in the QSX slot.
-
I will wait for the DX station to end a contact before I call.
-
I will always send my full call sign.
-
I will call and then listen for a reasonable interval. I will not call continuously.
-
I will not transmit when the DX operator calls another call sign, not mine.
-
I will not transmit when the DX operator queries a call sign not like mine.
-
I will not transmit when the DX station requests geographic areas other than mine.
-
When the DX operator calls me, I will not repeat my call sign unless I think he has copied it incorrectly.
-
I will be thankful if and when I do make a contact.
-
I will respect my fellow hams and conduct myself so as to earn their respect.
