I am a young amateur radio operator from Cienfuegos city in the South center of Cuba. I have been an amateur radio operator since I was 11 years old. Now, I am 24 years old.

I began in the 160m band as a novice operator. I was helped by some friends building my first radio. I was fascinated by the CW contacts and DX in this band.

After some time, I updated my license and began to experiment in other bands and other modes. I found in the world of radio more than a simple hobby, I found a passion. I built two multiband radios more and I was very active in CW on some bands, principally on 160m.

When the Suisat was launched from the International Space Station I heard the news and I was astonished. I began to search for information about the space communication. Hearing signals from the space were very interesting and fascinating for me; I had been discovering a wonderful part of my passion.

A few time after, I had my first contact with the crew of the International Space Station (an unforgettable moment of my life). I continued updating my license until I reached the first class (A).

Nowadays, I don’t have much free time, because I am working and at the same time studying at the University; although, I continue enjoying my passion.

After a lot of time completing my homebrewed satellite station; I am QRV on Satellites and it has been another extraordinary experience in my life. I am really enjoying it. It is fantastic and fascinating! A few weeks ago I reached my grid square number 603 on Sat. I am the first Ham in my country in reach The Satellite VUCC Award. Thanks a million to the people who have helped me to reach my goals in this branch!

73!
