My
name is Hans Gatu
and I am an engineer in electronics since the late 70's. I live in Sweden and
I work as a design
engineer in the electric, the
electronic and the mechanical fields.
I
have worked for big companies like Ericsson
and ABB but also for small
companies. I
have also been a teacher in
electronics, in tele-communications and in photography.
My
first Heathkit product was
the oscilloscope O-12 and the
electronic switch ID-22, that
makes the
oscilloscope dual channel. It is
really a Heathkit classic from
the early 60's and I still
have it in working
condition. I bought it in the
mid 70's already
built by the previous owner. I am also a Radio
Amateur and, of course, I use Heathkit
amateur radios. My call is SA7AUY
and my main
transmitter is the HW-101 or the
"Hot Water One O One". Click the "My
Heathkits" tab for further
information of my equipment.
I am
a member of the Swedish Heathkit Club that
encourage to use all kinds of Heathkit
equipment.
Just
like Edward Heath, also I have
a genuine interest in aviation. I began pilot school in 1981. I
flew the Morane Saulnier SOCATA Rallye
(M.S. 880), a French design with very good characteristics. Later the design was sold to Poland and
was renamed to PZL Koliber
(PZL 110). In
1982 I flew by my self for the
first time.

stick, not a wheel. The Rallye/Koliber is a real plane )
My
pilot lessons was taking place at Hassleholm AeroClub.
I have now
landed permanently, due to
economical reasons. I am still very interested in aviation though
and I am a member of the F10 Fellowship
Association at
the former 10th Wing Airforce Base in the Swedish
Airforce, where I
did
my military service in 1980. I was then an Aircraft Mechanic and I
worked mostly with the J35F "Draken" fighter. At the former 10th Wing Airforce Base is now
a very fine Airforce Museum. Another
museum where I am a technician is the Hassleholm Military Museum.
For some years I have been a K9 Dog Handler in the
voluntary part of the Swedish Army,
the National Home Guard.

Other interests I
have is Vintage Vehicles (visit my other web-site: www.OPIO.nu), Photography and
Choir Singing (I sing the
base in the Hassleholm
Church Vocal Ensemble).
