Get in Touch #

Whether you have a question, want to discuss a project, or just share your own passion for technology, feel free to reach out! I’m always open to connecting with fellow enthusiasts and professionals. You can contact me at jeffrey@wirehead.be, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Note that for repairs, or any microsoldering (port repair, SMD repair, BGA,…), I can only accept those if you’re located in Belgium. If you have specific restoration requirements for e.g. vintage audio, feel free to reach out.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Personal #

I’ve always been interested in RF technology, and in 2017 I finally got my call sign (ON3AD) after being a registered SWL (ONL12316). In 2018, I upgraded my license to full HAREC; my call sign is now ON8AD. I’m interested in… anything! SSB, SWL, digital modes, antenna design, electronics, aerospace, and more. As you can see from this blog, you’ll notice I like repairing anything that has electronics in it.

I’m also a proud father of two wonderful daughters and enjoy spending time with my family in the Ardennes.

You could say I started my career at six years old, when I took ownership of my sister’s computer—a powerful Amiga A500+! Now nearing 40, I’m as passionate about technology as ever. My main area of expertise lies in networks and systems administration. Over the years, I’ve accumulated a wealth of knowledge, which I enjoy sharing with others. I have experience in R&D, testing, and working in datacenter and mission-critical environments. A techie at heart, I enjoy deep diving into topics, striving for that extra percent of performance and long-term stability by creating solid solutions.
