ON3EBR
Hey there! I’m Else, callsign ON3EBR. the suffix stands for my name Else BRasseur
When I met Egbert, I quickly realized his HAM radio hobby came as part of the package. I often joined him at amateur radio gatherings like HAM Radio in Friedrichshafen, and while I enjoyed the social side of it, I never really felt the urge to get a license myself.
But Egbert had other plans—just before the COVID pandemic, he signed me up for a course. To my own surprise, I passed the exam for the entry-level license on my very first try, and that’s how I got my callsign ON3EBR.
Unlike Egbert, I’m not really a QSL card collector. But I confirm all contacts via LoTW, eQSL.cc, DCL & Clublog.
For me, it’s simply about the joy of making that occasional contact.
Sensual photoghraphy is another interest Egbert and I enjoy together. And when he swaps his transceiver for his DSLR, I sometimes end up on the other side of the lens as his muse.

Above, you can see the logos of several digital mode clubs of which I have now become a member. Of course, I’m also a member of the Belgian national IARU society, the UBA.
I’m absolutely delighted that—just like my dear OM, Egbert—I’ve succeeded in becoming a member of the Diploma Interests Group (DIG). Over the years, Egbert and I have attended many of the group’s gatherings together, and it feels wonderful to now be officially part of this inspiring community.
