Alive and kicking.

Some readers tought I took my bags and went south to never show up again....well I'm gonna proof they had it all wrong. Indeed I was less active but participated in the UBA spring contests (CW & SSB), made a new symmertrical antenna (pictures will soon be available on the website) and made plans to go to Frederichshafen.
Also had to prepare my holiday to EA6. Girlfriend allowed me again to take the gear with me.
This year I'll use a 12m fishpole and a G5RV all connected to the 26 pound FT990. We leave sunday 25th of may early in the morning,
so I might participate a few hours in the cq WPX test.
The other 9 days on the island I'll be active mainly in CW with some SSB & digi. Favorite bands are 20, 30 and 40m. Look for me signing EA6/OQ7R. A couple of weeks after the trip you can meet me in the mekka of hamradio, Frederichshafen.
Hope the EURO keeps his strength for another month, I consider buying a FT-2000.
That's for now, hope to show you my antenna project connected to the palstar at the end of another busy weekend.

Frank, ON7RU, soon EA6/OQ7R
