EnglishWelcome
Thanks for visiting my website,
My name is Vincent and i am 25 years old.
The qth is a small village near Amsterdam.
When i was 11 or 12 i started playing with old cb radios i believe its called Hycom and some other oldies,
My father used them also back in the days then i got a set of handheld/portable radios working on the same frequency.
Offcourse playing allot with them with friends but then after a while i suddenly lost interest and dropped the hobby.
When i was a bit older i think it was something like 19 i picked up the hobby again and only listening and talking with local stations ,
that is not much fun offcourse and i heard someone say lets go on usb.
i thought usb? to connect to the computer ? so i started to use the internet and found information about DX'ing.
2 years after i bought a President George and a simple GPA antenna started dx'ing a bit and learning how all things worked the short names like qrz - qsb etc but this was not enough for me :P.
A friend of mine build a radio in his car and offcourse i did my george in my car also with a hla300v amplifier for some extra juice ,
after a while i bought a sirio GPE that worked pretty good and then a Sirio 827 those are pretty good but for DX'ing i wanted a better antenna.
Briefly afterwards i bought a 3 elements yagi with a small boom that did worked but it had not much gain so i made a 3 element deltaloop antenna.
This antenna worked pretty good but the F/B ratio was terrible then a year after i met Henry Poelman from HPSD antennas and he said he made new antennas the LFA yagi's and short after that i went to Friesland to pick a 3 element LFA up.
Don't want anything else the this antenna anymore :)
The President George i replaced also for an Icom 706MKII that i used in the car,
radio that i use at home is his younger "brother" the icom 7000. 
One day heard on the radio Marcus 26TRC155 and Dave 29FB001 they got an amazing audio on the ssb and so my interest started in getting the same results.
I bought a Behringer B1 studio mic and a Xeny fx1002D to create a better sound,
offcourse i wanted more so i bought a DEQ2496 also Behringer but it has so many settings so i am still figuring out how everything works and what sound i like the best.
The other things that keeps me busy in the daily life are:
Sports (weight lifting , boxing)
Car ( tuning , spraying, fabricating parts) www.corsa-t-design.nl
Dx (radio hobby offcourse )
