In 1981, i passed my exam for the then called D - license and as PD0LQD I made the 6 D kanalen unsafe.
A year later, I passed my exam for the C - license and the then called HDTP gave me the call sign: PE1IIS.
The A - license was harder work for me but after trying 3 times, I passed also for this exam on April 1983.
The call sign distributor must have thought that I am used to have double India's in my call sign, so they gave me the new call sign PA3DII. In those days it was not possible to choose your own call sign. I still use the same call sign with a lot of fun.

My equipment is build into a cabinet in the corner of our living room.
(With many thanks to my wife Joca , because of this she has not a lot of possibilities to change the room around and always has to listen to my mumbling at the background)
