My name is Dick Pronk. My QTH is located at the westcoast of the Netherlands.
I started my radio hobby in 1965. In the beginning I worked in CW only. A period
that lasted from 1965 till 1975. In 1975 I moved to the present location, but was
unable to rig up an antenna and therefore remained dormant until around 2001.
That year I made and installed a 25 foot whip aerial and purchased a new
transceiver. This became the Yaesu FT-920. A SG-230 smarttuner couples the
transceiver to the antenna and does this job rather satisfying.
I am now working on all bands between 160 to 6 meters with CW, SSB, SSTV, PSK,
HELL, RTTY, etc.
For local QSOs I use on 2 meter and 70 cm an adapted Condor set in connection with
a 2 meter groundplane antenna. These Condor sets were earlier used in the
land mobile services.
I am member of the Dutch radio amateur club VERON. QSL cards can be sent through
them. Cards can also be sent electronically via www.eqsl.cc
