Since I got my Amateur Radio Licence in 1986 I haven't been very frequently on the radiowaves. I finished my Shack in the garden in 2006 and opened it for Radio Amateurs in the region. We meet eachother every Thursday afternoon in the PH4RTM Shack. We chat about experiences on the airwaves and about technical problems that one might have with radio’s or computers.
The Shack is stuffed with all types of transceivers to work on frequencys from 160 meters up to 23 centimetres. Outside you will find aerials for all those frequencies and as the location of the Shack is 40 metres above sealevel, everyone can make the transmissions (QSO’s) that he likes. As an added bonus in the Shack we have a collection of ex-army radio’s like the GRC-9 with amplifiers as the LV-80, and the type 3030 from the Dutch Army.
Even the newer types 3600 (1966-1989) and 4600 which is still in use by some Army units.
Also, lets not forget theECHOLINKstation we own witch works on frequency144,5625and has node number503636. This Station is always on the air 24/7.
We are also responsible for the region repeaterPI3SRTon channel R0 (145,600 MHz, subaudio 71.9 hz) located on the tallest Flat in Venlo at a height of 75 meter above Sea-level. This repeater is also heard via internet on a 24/7 live audio stream; go towww.ch73.net, live audio streams and then PI3SRT.

Sinds 1986 heb ik de c (F) licentie, veel uitzenden doe ik niet, maar ik geef aan mede zendamateurs de ruimte om bij elkaar te kunnen komen. In onze “SHACK“ waar we iedere donderdagmiddag en - avond bijeenkomen om te kletsen over vanalles, ook zend ervaringen, en -klus en -knutsel activiteiten.
We hebben er alle mogelijke zendontvangst apparatuur staan, van 160 meter tot 23 cm, en de daarvoor bestemde antennes op 40 meter boven NAP, en iedere zendamateur kan en mag er een QSO mee maken .We beschikken ook over GRC 9, LV 80, 3030, 3600, 4600, oud leger materiaal wat nog in perfect werkende staat is.
