Former YV5HUJ (from 1979 to dec 2011)
73 to all and many thanks for visiting.
My name is Edwin Rivera, I was born on 1957 in Caracas Venezuela, married to Aurita YV5JGU since 1989.
I'm almost 100% CW operator and I started my hamlife on 1978, getting my hamradio certificate on march 16, 1979.
80m, 40m, 20m, 15m, and 10m have been my favorite bands. Although not so fluently but I speak some English, un petit peux de Français and Spanish.
My primary ham radio interest is chasing DX.
I always try to slow down my CW speed to comply with the one of my correspondent.
So please, if one day you listen to me, do not hesitate to call me and ask me for QRS or QRSs, I will be very glad to have a QSO at a very slow CW speed with you.
About QSLs:
-
ALL cards I receive will be answered for sure! (100%)
-
I'm one of those operators who REALLY LIKES PAPER QSLs!!
-
Cards received directly will be answered directly (normally within one week). I will appreciate you send SASE + IRC, NO money please.
-
QSLs via bureau will be answered in the same way.
-
e-mail requests with QSO details will be QSLed via the bureau within the same week but I kindly ask for a paper QSL also via the bureau.
-
Please NO eQSL.

Not only QRO but also I love to work HF CW from less than 1 watt output (QRPp) up to 5 watts output (QRP).
- Heathkit HW-8 (manufactured on 1975) for 80, 40, 20 and 15m, adjusted to 1 watt output.
- Elecraft KX1 (acquired on nov '09) for 40 and 20m bands, 4.5 to 5 watts.
Antennas are vertical (hy-gain 14AVQ or mobile mast) and inverted V dipoles.

Sometimes I work CW with my Bencher® ST-2 Iambic paddle with my homemade digital CMOS keyer, or my Palm Radio® Mini-Paddle when I'm portable.
