I'm a good definition of a nerd, enjoying the world of computers, radios and other technical stuff. Oh, and aviation of course. 

I got my ham radio licence in Nov. 2021 and got on the air right away on local repeaters and experimenting with APRS and WinLink over VHF. In the end of December, I bought an Icom IC-7300 which I'm very satisfied with. From the day I got the radio, I've been logging QSOs every single day. I'm mostly active on SSB and FT8, but I've also logged a couple of RTTY QSOs. Hopefully I will dare to try CW on the air soon as well. 

My antenna is home made, a fan dipole with 20m-40m-80m elements to a 1:1 balun. My garden is hardly long enough for the 40m elements, so there is some creative shape on the 80m elements - but it tunes and works so who cares? :-)

Other interests are programming, networking, volunteering and aviation. My day job is flight instructor, so hopefully I'll be able to get some /AM QSOs going soon.
