Ham since 1991, as a class C PU1MBR. In 1992 promoted to PY1SI class B, and in 1993, class A.

Living in Palmas, Tocantins, about 950km north from Brasilia-DF, since 2003 and using the aditional callsign PQ2SI.

The favorite mode is the PSK31 and RTTY. Phone used in 40m, 20m, 15m, 10m and 6m (this band is excellent in Palmas in fall and spring).

I work in Federal University of Tocantins (UFT), PhD in Mass Media Studies, professor and researcher in Journalism Department.

I opere in a low profile station. Frequently I do QRP outdoor and like too much to experiment new positions to transmit.

This is a little view of Palmas. The Girassois Plaza and the Palacio Araguaia the state government headquarters.

This is my house, where I operate.

About 1km from my QTH, the Prata´s Beach is in the riverside of the electrical generator´s Luis Eduardo Magalhães lake in the county of Lajeado-TO, about 60km from Palmas.
