Hello

Thanks for looking up my information. I live here in Jalasjärvi with my familly, wife and two lovely childen Iiris & Lauri, they are aged of 9 & 6. I have here a small bussines of my own - we grow tomatoes in a greenhouse. I am using FT-2000D and 9 -element Optibeam on about 20 meters high. It´s nice to have QSO:s around the world. Mostly on 20 m and 17 m. The picture on the corner was taken when it was -25 C outside temperature. I started in -70´s listening SWL, hamradios and served my military in signal corps, then that hobby passed over by another interests - with the internet - in late -90´s I looked up some pictures of fine old radios like Drake, Collins, Racal etc. and I bought an communication receiver - and there the ham radios ware around the world. I got my first lisence in 2004. I am a "laid back amateur" I don´t like contesting - I have all the contesting I need on my bussines.My another hobbys are books - I read as much I have time for it, and music, mostly classical - specially classical pianomusic Schubert, Bach, Busoni, Sorabji, Alkan and also Requiem music is near my hart. My daughter is collecting stamps, so if You QSL direct, please put extra stamps to envelope - that will make Iiris very happy. Every direct QSL will be answered direct !!
