My locator is JO22HG

On the picture above you can see me running PA6HQ in cw on 20 m during the IARU contest 2015 on July 11

Did get my first hamradio license in 1977 and was active on VHF as PE1CCK. From 1987 I do hold the full license and my call sign changed into PA3EQK. From beginning 1999 my callsign changed into PA5WT.

In the past I did a lot of contesting on the VHF/UHF bands privately and with my club station PI4KML. In the season 1986/1987 we, with my clubstation PI4KML, did win the VHF/UHF-championship of the Netherlands. Some members of this group : Ton PA0ASH (SK), Carlo PE1MWL, Joop PE1DOY, Jelle PE1KDA and Pieter PA3FIW.

With some friends like Theo PA1TK,  Ton PA0ASH ( SK ), Rob PA3GVI  and Gerard, PA0FRX ( SK ) I was qrv from Luxembourg several times. As LX/PA1TK/P we did join several of the major European VHF/UHF contests.

On HF I am qrv as a cw-only operator ( and some RTTY ) running a modest station with a small yagi and wire antennas. On VHF I like to do some dx-ing in cw and ssb.

WHEN SENDING QSL PLEASE NO  IRC'S  

 

2017 June 17 and 18 I was qrv in the IARU 50 MHz contest from the qth of Theo PA1TK in JO22IJ.
We used a short yagi about 18 meter high mounted just below his antenna fo 2 m. 
I did the cw qso's and Theo was on phone.
