October 30 Hamradio opens doors Did you ever heard the saying "hamradio opens doors"? I heard it the first time while watching the fifth ICOM radionews. The first and major part of the movie was dedicated to Tim duffy, K3LR, owner of a superstation and winner of many multi-multi contests. Tim works or worked in het mobilephone business and hamradio helped him to build a nice career. A couple of weeks ago, the company were I work for since 15 years, had a job offer for a RF design engineer. After several years of people management in an xDSL and IPTV customer helpcenter environment I was looking for a new challenge. So I sended my CV and motivation to the HR department. To cut a long story short....I have the job.  Last few weeks I wasn't very active but During the CQ WW SSB contest I found some time to work a few new ones and a couple of new band/modes. 15m was in good shape, did you noticed the sunspot index jumped from 68 to 82? Think near hamfuture looks really bright. Because I couldn't catch sleep I got up during the night and worked several NA on 80m SSB, actually my first NA ever on 80m SSB. Worked the regular powerstations W3LPL, KC1XX, K1DG, K3LR and several others. Belgians most active contester, Franki OQ5M even worked +50 NAs....wow. Another new one on 80m was Bodo, 5N0OCH. Bodo has 13 QSOs with ON7RU in his log, which brings me pretty high in the belgian main leaderbord. That's it for now, CU next week.
