Welcome!

You've reached the web-site of Christiaan J. Roselaar, PA3FUN.
Thanks for stopping by!

Licensed since 1978, I've been using the PA3FUN-callsign since 1991.

I'm a big fan of high-power transmitters and Low-band DX-ing.
Most hams in The Netherlands lack enough space to put out large enough antenna's for low-band DX-ing. Until recently I was no exception to that rule. Desperate to nevertheless work DX on 80, I started looking for an alternative. In 1997 I found my first alternative in building a remote shack out in a farm field some four kilometres from my home. Excellent for DX, but cold, windy and also meaning being away from home too many times. Years later, in the summer of 2004, I finally managed to deploy a fully remotely controllable DX-station with a total of seven beverage-antenna's. Please read more of these adventures under the tab "Low-band DX-ing".

If You would like to listen to live audio originating from this remote DX-station: quickly "tab-on" to "80 Mtr Live-Audio!"

And, for those of You interested in where we live, check out the tab "Our Home". As You can see on the photo's there, plenty of space now for antenna's: a low-band DX-ers dream come true.

I'm a member of the Benelux QRP-Club. If You are too, and do not like high power transmitting, then do NOT read anything under the tab "(Big) Transmitters". (Oops, there goes my membership ... ;)

Please use the navigation-buttons on the left to move around.
