Hello , 

Welcome to my page and in case we just had a QSO, thank you! 73

I am Arie from Amersfoort central in the Netherlands .
60 years old and get my Novice licence  on . 27-03-2021

I've tried to get this earlier, in beginning of the 90's but unfortunately didn't make it to the end . 

i have be busy this hobby from 1970 starting first on a porto 2 chs  
than my first set was a  Pony CB-78 23 ch AM 5 watt

the last on 11 meters  i had president  Lincoln 

After a long break from this hobby it slowly started to itch, and in september 2020 picked the hobby back up after buying a Ranger 2950 set. 

But I found  out it has all changed.. 11 meter is almost dead and a s 9 is noise .
So I think the best is to go on HF and 2 meter and find out DRM . 

This compelled me to get my ameteur licence, I found my way to the RFDX club and studied there my Novice 2 days a week on teamspeak. 

It's very nice to learn all the infomation in a nice way, and so much help if you don't understand it right away. 

So now after 4 months, I finally get my licence !
I am grateful of all the members of the RFDX club for all the help! 

Thanks guys! Koos ,Frank,Wilfred and Jack and Erwin
