Hi everyone,

Welcome to my HRD-homepage or I would rather say to my Home Page. The content and links here is mostly for my own use, i. e. to organize my interests/hobbies and to make it possible to recap what I have found is of interest for me.
Some of it may also be of interest for you and I will be glad to share it. As you can see this Home Page has somewhat a focus on amateur radio.

That is because my main hobby is or has been HAM Radio with my callsign PA7J. Sometimes it is traveling or digital photography. It depends on my mood of the day or part of the year. Some photo’s are published on the Panoramio site.

We can met eachother on many way’s: Skype, Twitter [#PA7J], and ofcourse via the e-mail of the HRD-site. I prefer 2-way QSO direct!
The local frequency for HAM is 431.275 on FM of via D-star REF017 A and DCS007 B of DMR

If you like, follow my car on APRS 144.800 MHz of the http://aprs.fi/?call=pa7j-9&mt=m&z=11&timerange=3600 site. Mostly I am in it … [PA7J-9]

That is why the content here has a widespread focus on little here and there. My name is Jan de Boon and I live in Hardinxveld-Giessendam [QTH locator JO21kt] in the Alblasserwaard, in the Netherlands. Hardinxveld-Giessendam is located 20 km SE of Rotterdam in the south-west of the country.

Other callsigns since I have my license:

PD0KOM [1984], PE1MHM [1989], PB0AJU [1990], PA3FSZ [1991], PA7JDB [1999]

PSE QSL via the Dutch QSLbureau.

Best 73érs de Jan – PA7J
