NL13289: May 2007
http://www.nl13289.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 30, 2007. The quest of becoming a Ham. It must be 15 years ago or more that I came into contact with the "ham-virus" for the first time. That was with scouting and the Jamboree On The Air. Before that I was allready a SWL but mostly on Broadcasting stations. That was the first time I said I must get my license. Now I picked up the hobby of SWL again after many years, but now only on the amateur bands. Posted by Elmar at 6:40 PM. Tuesday, May 29, 2007. Activities will start friday evening.

Monday, June 2, 2008. No radio activities this evening. A very nice thunderstorm is coming right over my area as you can see in the above radar image. So, all the cables and antennas are unplugged and the rigs are shutdown. Last night I made a short QSO with Loet PJ2LS on 20 meter.

Monday, August 18, 2008. Since I passed the exam for my ham license I was on air more often than I was doing SWL.

The website contruction is still in progress: it's partly a blog, partly informational and I will try to post some ham related news items regulairy. Please take a look at my new website at www.pd3em.com. Any comments and tips are welcome. 73, Elmar PD3EM. Posted by Elmar at 9:55 PM.
