Welcome to the biography page.

Martin, PA4WM
Born in April 1964

Interested in radio since I was a very young boy and tuned on the Philips tube receiver in our living room.

I became a registered SWL in 1979. Started with a BC312 receiver on loan, but soon jumped into real SW DX with a Yaesu FRG-7.
First licenced in 1979, and upgraded from a VHF only to a full HF licence in 1984.
It al started with a Yaesu FT101 (FT277), followed by a FT902DM, a FT1000mp and up to the current FTdx5000.

In those early days, as young member of our radio society, I met my wife while visiting our local club chairman and now father in law; Albert PA0ABE

Changed my callsign from PA3DSR to PA4WM in 1998

HF DX and contesting is my part of the game.
Holding the DXCC Honor Roll #1 Mixed and 5BDXCC amongst others.
