feel the excitement of ham radio

Hi! I’m Filip, ON7FD. Tech geek and of course an amateur radio operator for almost 30 years based in West-Flanders, Belgium – Europe. This site showcases some of the stuff I get up to, with the odd review and how-to.

Prefer operating on shortwave (HF) in SSB and experiments now and then with FT8 and other digital modes.

Main Ham Radio interests are DX hunting and antenna/propagation studies.
