Holder also for PE1EVI, PD0CFN, PD5MAR (my wife), PD2TIM (my son).

Hi All,

Thanks for visiting my info.

I started with Hamradio around my 17th birthday. Like most people in those years i started with listening on shortwave. Most of it on Hambands, but occasional airplanes- and shipcomm's as well.

Within a few years i married, she is a Ham as well (PD5MAR) and got my first license with callsign PD0CFN. Within 2 years i upgraded to PE1EVI. That was fun. A few years ago we got vanity callsigns so I decided to get a simple to remember one, specially in a pile-up like the one i have now PE9PE.

During the many years i'm a Ham i joined a number of DX-Peditions like 9H9PA and D68C. I also teamed up with other Hams to bring specialcallsigns on the air like: PC100H and PB6EU. Recently i also was one of the many operators who activated PI25BEA and PI25TRIX, due to celibrate 25years of Queen Beatrix in the Netherlands.

I visited many countries for business and a number i was active from.

It's rewarding to meet so many different people and for sure Hamradio made it a lot easier in many cases.

QSL cards via bureau or direct are ALL 100% answered. QSL cards by SWL's are also appreciated.

For the week of May 20th till May28th 2006 i am the QSL manager of PI50JUT.

In the week of July 4th till July 11th 2008 i operated SI9AM. All QSL's have to go via SM3CVM. I made 5100 QSO's and thank everybody for their company on the bands during my stay.

On regular occasions i get questions how to reach me via MSN or Skype.
