Personal Information:

I love DX. At the present I have 9 band DXCC and the highest DXCC Challange score in Mexico.  Also DXCC on all modes: Mixed, SSB, CW, RTTY, Satellite and QRP.

Contesting is an activity I enjoy very much both as a single operator and as a member of a multi operator team like XE1RCS, HC8N, FP/VE7SV, ES9C, XX9C, 6G1KK, 4C2X, HC8A, PZ5YV, 6D2VHF, and PW5U during WRTC2006 in Brazil as capitain of "Team Mexico".

Also have been active from some islands in Mexico including Cozumel (NA-090) as 6H3KK , Isla Lobos (NA-221) first time activation as a team member of XF2RCS , Tamalcab Island (NA-200) as XF3T team member and XE1KK/XF3 on Isla Mujeres (NA045) and XE1KK/XF1 on Isla La Partida and Isla Espíritu Santo (NA124).

I am a member, and the founding president, of Grupo DXXE a fine group of amateurs that includes Mexico’s top contesters and very active DXers. Also I am member of FMRE, Radio Club Satélite, BCDXC, the Galapagos Radio Sociedad, 4M5DX Group, RSGB, RAC and life member from AMSAT and ARRL.

So far I have visited 110 DXCC entities and operate, from seriour expedition to a few QSOs, from nearly a third of them. Visit my travel list at the DXFC web site.

All my QSOs starting December 1st, 2004 are good for the DXXE Award. You don´t need to send the QSL cards to apply.

At the present I am the Secretary of IARU Region 2 please visit our webpage www.iaru-r2.org.

You can see my professional profile on LinkedIn.

Documents:

I keep track of the radio operations from XE-IOTAs and the list of the 50 MHz First QSOs beween Mexico and other DXCC entities. On the AMSAT website there is an Introduction to Satellites, in Spanish, that I wrote some years ago.

QSL information:

• LoTW: Preferred method.   If you are not a LoTW user please set up an account and we will both save time, money and energy confirming our QSOs. I update my log regularly so you can have the confirmation sometimes in less than 24 hours. Try it!

• Direct: SAE + $2 (No IRCs please).  For stations in the US you can send me a SASE with US postal stamp and I mail it back to you on my next trip to the US, usually every other month. As you can see direct QSLing is becoming more expensive every day, I insist you try LoTW.

• Bureau: If you want a bureau card email me and I send it right away and you can save some months in getting it. You don´t need to send me your QSL card.
