Thanks for stopping by, and for the QSO if we've already had one :)

I've been licensed in 2000, but am only active on shortwave since 2015. I like the entire "holy trinity" of amateur radio modes — CW, phone and digital (PSK, JT, RTTY etc.) — and switch among these modes often. At home, I have some simple dipoles for 10-80m hidden in my barn, and an HB9CV for 6m, all connected to a FlexRadio 6500. Occasionally, I operate it remotely, controlling the radio from my mobile phone while I'm on the move.

I often operate portable, as I'm very interested in SOTA and have activated a few summits, with hopefully many more to come in the future. For portable operation, I usually use my KX3 with an end-fed wire antenna or an AlexLoop.

Recently I have created HamAlert, a system to get push/SMS/email notifications when a desired station gets spotted on SOTAwatch, the DX cluster or the RBN.
