HAM - ON4PFD
Hi ! I'm Fred, ON4PFD, a Belgian amateur radio operator.
I've had my license since 2016, but I've become more active as an operator since March 2024, when I was invited to a Yota contest in France.

Home
My home rig consists of an ICOM IC-7300 powered by a Jetfon PC-30 power supply. Both have had their fans replaced with Noctua fans to reduce noise.

My antenna is a home made tunable dipole, inspired by AD0MZ's design.
ON4MSF
I also sometimes operate MSF's HF station, which consists of a Yaesu FTdx101D, paired with an UltraBeam antenna on an antenna rotator.
