Hi !

I am born in 1944 in a little locality called Sainte Feyre in central part of France near the town of Guéret (main town of the department N° 23, called La Creuse) about 300 kilometers from Paris the capital city.

Firstly I was in september 1963 the second operator of my best friend Jean-François, F9ET unfortunatly silent key in august 19860. And then I am F5HX since october 1965.

I was married in october 1967 but divorced in june 1975 a daugter born in may 1971, her name is Nathalie.

I am married a second time since june 2001, the name of my wife is Colette, she have also a daugter, her name is Laetitia.

Now I am retraited, I was chief of the comptability service of a big french administration durind 19 years.

Inrerested by the administration of the french association, REF (Réseau des Emetteurs Français), I was elected in the board of council in june 1967 and re-elected during 13 years (vice-secretary, secretary, treasurer, vice-chairman .

I was again elected in may 1993, and I was secretary during 9 years.

I was again elected in may 2005 and I am vice-secretary since april 2013.

In january 1969, after a meeting that I hosted, I rode as a passenger in the car of a SWL and we had an accident. I've been ejected and I was broken spine.

After a long rehabilitation I was able to walk for 30 years with two crutches until December 2001 and then I fell and my shoulder has not allowed me to hold the sticks, so I'm now in a wheelchair but I drive my car I travel a lot and I'm still very activei

In the french association REF I am also the editor of the national magazine "Radio-REF"

The side of the pure practice of amateur radio, I will give more informations on another day.
