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.

 PZL Koliber ( Real planes has a
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).
