| You don't really want to know the guy, but his radio is certainly interesting:
a JRC NRD-525 with Datong FL-3 audio filter on top. Before getting my hands
on this fine piece of equipment there were various Philips
receivers - some going back to preWW-II - an ICOM
R70, Drake R7A and a Kenwood
R5000.
Of course, I still have my trusty Panasonic
RF-B65L, and I bought a Sangean ATS-909 for DXpeditions like the one
to Bali in October 1998.
The current antenna farm consists of 30 meters random wire and a 17
meter T2FD both on the roof of a six storey building in suburbian Taipei.
Antenna tuners and attenuators are home made. |

So you still want to see me? I'll show you my first receiver. Cool,
huh? Now you know when and where I got the radio bug. The big guy is my
father, the little one me. This photo must have been taken in 1967, the
year I was put on this world. Of course a Philips receiver and my father
- who was a Philips man - is pretty much sure that it bore the type number
B0X17U. Ever since this photograph was taken the radio bug has been in
my blood. |
I collect radio clipart - not scanned ones of ham radio
- but rather pictures like the ones you see here. If you have any, please
mail them to me. Thanks a bunch.

I currently live in Taiwan where I make the streets unsafe by riding a
motorcycle (it actually is scooter, but who
cares?). Take a look, there might be a better picture of me there.... |
