Watch out !!! ESCAPED RADIO AMATEUR If he is around: lie flat on the floor and wait for help. In case there is no help.: lots of luck.

Hello,
Thank you for your interest.
I started with the radio hobby at the age of 9, building a simple crystal radio, listning in bed to far away stations.
Soon my interest in shortwave amateur radio increased and I became a shortwave listener: PA-1781.
I am a licensed ham since 1983.
After 25 years I still enjoy this hobby.
Lots of experiments to go on antenna’s, electronics and digital radio.
I am QRV mostly in CW. Hope to work you soon (again).

Maintenance on the beam and rotor Inverted Vee, 2 x 20 mtr

Symetrical tuner for inverted Vee and another projects like antenna current indicator

The drake L7 with its 3-500Z always gives a warm feeling I realy love this amp.

The loop for 10-28 Mhz, inside the box the motor, gearbox, end stops, potmeter and the vacuum capacitor

I'm using a wireless headset. It gives you a lot of freedom during QSO's
Not attached to any wire, you are able to get yourself a coffee and
continue the QSO at the same time.

Jabra 9120	even better, the Plantronics Supra Plus
	bought it on a fleemarket for Euro 25,--

Modified my FT 2000. Installed the NS 2.4 KHz roofing filter. For more info see: www.ac0c.com

Modifying the FT2K is getting a serious job. Three rig's to be modified at the same time.

After having permanent license for 2013 (there are only two hams, me and C5YK ) I just got confirmation on my renewal for 2014.





I will be QRV from 11 Januari 2014 till 15 Januari and 7 till 13 april from the village (picture above)  my Charity cares about, Buntu.  I will set upmy permanent station now based on a Kenwood TRC-80 Bush Radio and a brand new 5 band Spiderbeam.  Additionally I will put up some travelling wave V-beam antennas to USA and EU.  We will also try some low band activity but due to poor soil conductivity I expect not too much apart from extremely low noise levels (closest electricity wall outlet is 80 km away.)
From 16 till 22 Januari we will move to the Kololi area where we will try some serious Low Band stuff based on a sea mounted vertical, together with dipoles and the V-beam for the high bands.
Past operations:
I was  QRV from 20 till 27 march 2013 from the Kololi aera and also from inland Buntu village. But very busy setting up an NGO that week, not a lot of activity.
I will be also QRV two weeks in august, dates 16-30 august 2013 from Kerr Pedro, Buntu Village, North River district. This place has no electricty, I will be taking along solar panels and batteries to sponsor the village. And lots of humanitary aid stuff, medicine and educational things.

Please help my charity project, more info onwww.smilegambia.org

Previously operated from 11 till 18 november 2012 by Pedro ON7WP / AA9HX as part of his effort to set up a locally managed tourist organisation helping local to gain their own money.

Used an Icom IC706 running 50 Watts into dipoles or MP1 vertical located close to the atlantic ocean with clear view over 360 degrees.


UPDATE:
Operated the first day on a quarter wave vertical on 20 meters. Bad results.

Switched to 20 meter dipole only 2 meter above ground on second day, good results to USA even with low height thanks to the ocean.
Placed a 40 meter dipole on monday and oerated this one with good results on 40 and 15 meter (3/4 lambda) at the highest attainable height of 5 meters.

Then operated wednesday /P from Kunta Kinteh camp from generator power and with the same low height 20 meter dipole.

Friday using MP-! vertical on bar table (see pictures) next to the ocean with worldwide (!) results on 12 meter, with some escapades to 10 meter.

Was blown off 12 meters by another DX-pedition starting to call on 24937 "UP" rendering the whole band impossible to use due to randomly calling stations about EVERYWHERE. A real shame. Expressed my disgust on their frequency and called "down" in despair for a minute But what can one do with 50 W and a little vertical Went to the bar instead.

Worked some more 40 meter and 15 meter on saturday. Then in the evening the bands rendered impossible to use again due to the start of the sweepstakes. 40 and 15 meters flooding with 59+ stateside stations but none of them heard my 50 watts tiny signalback to the bar.

It was fun and I was sorry I only had a 6 kg ham radio luggage allowance. 55 kg of aid stuff and barely own clothings.

Next time I take 1 solid state kW amp and a bigger antenna. Maybe christmas this year.
enjoy some pics of my trip.

PS the human aid community service part of the trip was a huge success. I made more people happy than I made QSO's.


QSL only direct to ON7WP address. Please enclose adhesive address label and  3 US $ or 3 € EURO postage and (if you can afford it) some small sponsoring to help the organisation and pay for the postage. All money goes to the locals.
