I still am occasionally. Mostly on 80 meters. Sometimes on 10 FM from the mobile. Whenever I am in the car I have 2 meters on standby. I am a ham for over 35 years now and in the beginning I was very active. Over the years the fires have dimmed a bit though and the activity has shifted from the technical to the organisatorial. I have been the keeper of the local 2m repeater from 1982 to 1994 and from 1990 I have been a member of the commitee that negotiates with the Dutch equivalent of the FCC about license condition etc. 73, Michiel --- InterMail 2.29k * Origin: PA0MMV, Driebergen, NL (2:280/5555) .
