A little about myself
	19 DD 301

Let Me introduce myself. My name is Adrian and I was born in 1963 in Jamestown South Australia where I lived for nearly 10 years. 
My parents were Dutch and in 1972 my family returned to The Netherlands. We went by one of the prides of the Chandris Line. A boat called "The Britanis". The trip took six weeks and fascinated me that much that I wanted to keep contact with the world. Later a part of my family missed Australia and returned. They still live near the Gold Coast. 
During a visit I brought an AM CB radio back home to The Netherlands. I soon met up with the world of DX-ing. I then bought my first radio a Midland 7001.    

My hobby's are my computer, Tennis, Volleyball and DX-ing. Especially on the 11 meter band. You can imagine once I am on the radio I beam my antenna in the direction of the 43 division.
I 1985 I stopped DX-ing for 13 years. In the meantime I started studying for HAM operator and passed my exams. In 1998 I started DX-ing on the 11 meter again.
I must say it did change a lot in those 13 years. Many DX-peditions and world contests probably make it more professional but also less interesting in my opinion.
I am married to Franka and have three lovely daughters. (Nathalie, Tamara & Melanie). I work at the Philips Lighting company as an integral planner.

I am a member of the Double Dutch DX group.
We are a local group with only a few members. Together with some CB friends we started the group in 1983. 

We are not strangers, just friends who never met

 the best regards and 73's from Adrian
