Biography

I was interested in radio from about the age of 10. When I was about 16, I was building 3m transmitters, which were not legal. I met my best friend PE1BSB at the technical school when I was about 18. In the following year I was inspired by him to get my HAM license. I got my first callsign in 1979, PE1CWE. In the early 90's I did my morse exam and my callsign was changed to PA3FTD. In 2006, when it was possible (again) to chose your own callsign, I changed to PA2JS, and finally into PA0JSY. The XYL Hester is my princess. We laugh a lot and she let me do my radio-thing. To her all equipment is "black with knobs", hi. We share also things together such as western horsebackriding.
