I enjoy contesting and a contest location is a nice place to be, when you are not able to install big antennas at your own location and a nice way to learn new things related to the hobby.

Participating in CQ WW / WPX / IARU / PACC / RSGB IOTA contests etc.

My QTH (loc. JO21DV) is situated between Rotterdam and Hook of Holland along the river Nieuwe Waterweg (New Waterway), which is the entrance to the well-known Port of Rotterdam.

Photo on QSL is the citycenter of Rotterdam with the Erasmusbridge (streetview)

Other hobbies are : motordriving (currently Suzuki DL-650 V-Strom, 2008) and atletics (not fanatic right now, but did run a few half marathons in the past).
