Rene is impassioned by the radio since the 12 years age, it carried out various assemblies, posts with crystal and diode. It is in 1976, then 44 years old that it obtains its code SWL-5453.It then started to prepare its examinations technique and telegraphic in 1979 to obtain superb code ON6CW

History:


At the beginning like any radio ham, it carried out QSO in phone (SSB) and seen well quickly that the DX were difficult to realize. After +-500 contacts carried out in phone, it was directed more and more towards telegraphy. a very particular attraction for CW, why?


Rene with fact the academy of music and for him CW is like a music very easy to retain. A thing was sure, it made the decision more not to make but CW which enabled him to drive out the DX and to take part in the contest of this category.

The first key will be a manipulator from HEATHKIT, more exactly the HD 1410. It made more than 1000 QSO with this one before acquiring a model ETN-4C into 1979 which allows a speed of acquisition definitely faster than the preceding one and having 3 memories for the CQ.

Speed of 512 bits second, it was already much better for our friend Rene, speed came gradually with the number of QSO and the contest which are a very good school. a little after it acquired of a key HI-MOUND, a key doubles contact with which the QSO did nothing but ravel. In 1988, that it acquired of a key vibroplex to double contact which enabled him to enjoy the contacts to make out of CW, what a treat!!!
To carry out all its contacts of share the whole world the station of ON6CW is composed:

For HF - Kenwood TS940SAT - YAESU FT757GX - TR4C + X-ray SPR-4

For the VHF - Kenwood TR7800 out of FM - Yaesu FT 480 All modes

Dimensioned Antenna, Lévy of 2 X 25 meters + Limps of agreement drake MN4C Antenne QUAD HY-GAIN  
 

The antenna quad is located at a 18 meters height, it is directed by an engine of the type HAM, announce in the passing that this installation has currently functioned for 25 years without any problem.

ON6CW is known in the whole world, it practically collected all the diplomas which one could obtain. the only diploma which it did not obtain yet is the WAZ. A telegraphist, I would say even more than that, it fell inside when it was small so much it is fast out of CW.


The average of the QSO is per annum 4500 to 5000 QSO without the contest, that gives you an incalculable number of it, I made an average and that gives more than 100 QSO per days out of CW.

The frequencies or you will be likely the most to find our friend ON6CW are as follows: 14.025 - 18.070 - 21.025 - 24.900 - 28.025 Khz.

Since then, it gave some courses to other OM' S which became telegraphists also, slower on but as bitten well as him, and now as his/her son became ON3CW that to ask moreover than the changing
. Even his/her daughter-in-law became ON3CT (Cindy) as her small son (ONL10739) who follows the courses to continue on the way of the Radio.
