Active as HAM since the sixties as PA0HVK , often mobile on short wave and two meter, moved to Swaziland in 1981 as 3D6BF. This callsign was changed to 3DA0AQ in 1988 by the I.T.U..

I am a  retired transmitter engineer with Trans World Radio- Swaziland. Sporadically I liked using their  curtain-antenna when not in use, to gain better insight in propagation using the old Swan 350

from home  qrv with 100Watt from the IC-7300 using the 5 band Spiderbeam from 20 to 10 meters; it also resonates at 50 and 70 Megahertz! , the lower bands using a  G5RV,   Often stand by at Swazi repeater 145.650.

If no favourite conditions on short waves, try to find me on Hamsphere 4.0  (www.hamsphere.com) .
