Active contester from 1960 to 1984, both in CW and PHONE. Since 1985, I have not been active as contester and when I did, have been sporadically because of my occupations.

Active DXer and Dxpeditioner during the decades of the 70s and 80s. Still trying to increase my numbers on all bands from 160 to 6 meters, when my family and my professional duties permit.

I enjoy working to enhance the performance of my antennas and ragchewing with my friends. Fortunately, after more than 50 years as a ham, I have many all over the world
