Henk Tobbe moved from the Netherlands to Australia in July 1999. His - still valid - dutch callsign is PA0ADC. He got his first license in 1961.

Pretty active on the higher DX bands (40M and up) both in phone and CW. Regularly checking 12M and 10M for openings - especially now the sun is getting more active again.

For QSL information (I do LotW, eQSL and paper only Direct) and station details, on line logbook and a lot more, - like generating your own QSL card for download -please visit my web site.There you can also check if I am on the bands somewhere.

I strongly believe that paper QSL cards are something we should forget about in this digital day and age, so PLEASE do NOT send me any QSL cards via the bureau as I will NOT respond to them. I upload daily to Logbook of the World and to eQSL. If you want a card for the wall you can make one yourself, download and print it from my on line logbook:

To generate your individual QSL card on line: Click here!

Please allow for up to 30 minutes after the QSO for the data to be available in the on line logbook,
especially when I am working a pile up.

Example:

And if you really need a genuine paper card for an award: please QSL direct with a proper size self addressed envelope (not one of those tiny USA models) and one valid (properly stamped by the issuing post office) IRC or a minimum of $ 2 US for postage (and with the current exchange rate it really should be $ 3 US). Cards without SASE will be ignored.

My other hobby is photography: have a look at my photo's on Flickr.Amongst other things I got a very nice collection of "boat anchor" (= classic radio gear) photo's there. When you are interested in where we live, what my antenna looks like etc. browse my photos, please.

Recently ( June 2013) we added a special photo presentation website. Have alook and leave your comment in the "Contact Me" panel.

25/08: another new antenna optimized on 15m beaming to europe !




More than 6dBd beaming to Europe, feed with a twin lead and gives me the opportunity to work also 12 and 10 meters !

Let's see what's going on next week

27/07: A new antenna beaming to Europe

I have now a wire antenna of 2x10m horizontal V beaming to the north and it seems to be better than the ground plane,
and I can switch each antenna depending of the skip and the country I want to contact.
However I usually use the ground plane on lower bands because I have less noise.
15/07 : The rain season began
Conditions actually are very bad on my qth on higher bands and heavy qrn on 40meters, particulary on 30meters with high statics,
My log is avaible on this page if you want to be sure you are in my log.
TRAFIC :
I am connected to http://www.dxfuncluster.com/most of time.
Running a FT857DSP, a BY2 BENCHER, running WINTEST LOG.
The antenna is a fishing pole of 10m with a SG236 automatic antenna tuner.
QSL INFO :
Please include 2$ in a SAE to cover mail costs for direct QSL coming from outside of Europe,
please include 1$ in a SAE to cover mail costs for direct QSL inside Europe
via F5SWB reply will be 100% at :

On September 18th, 1810, Chile broke from Spanish rule, declaring their independence (although they still were theoretically loyal to King Ferdinand VII of Spain, then a captive of the French). This declaration eventually led to over a decade of violence and warring which did not end until the last royalist stronghold fell in 1826. September 18 is celebrated in Chile as Independence Day.

SE2T is a vanity/contest call attached to my underlying SM2YIZ call. (I never use the long YIZ anymore.). My primary interests are in contesting, dx-ing and collecting RDA and some other country awards. The ham story started in 1966 or was it 1967 with the call OH6YA (which I still have), but after 1971 I was QRT for some 33 years. After working hard for many years I decided to take up ham radio again and to try cut down on work. And yes, it appears the plan works OK most of the time.

I run a Yaesu FT2000 + ACOM1000 setup + inv L on 160, T-vertical on 80, 4 square on 40, 4 el monoband yagis on 20-15. Some 10 and 6 m antennas will be added sooner or later. I also work in the Multi op contest team from the SJ2W super station (www.sj2w.se) with its evergrowing antenna park.

I'm a 100 percent sure QSLer by both buro and LOTW. If you are in a hurry to get my card I suggest you send me your QSL, with a self-addressed envelope and two green stamps to cover postage costs. Mail to SE2T Kurt Brännäs, Bygränd 5, SE-91342 Obbola, Sweden
