I had the pleasure and honor to speak at the first Contest University Brazil in Porto Alegre in mid July 2011. I was active briefly from the event special event station: ZX3CTU. Thanks to the organizers and the CTU faculty: PY5EG, PY3MM, PY3DX, K1DG, W3LPL, K5ZD, LU8ADX, CX6VM, W9KNI, PY5CC, PP5JR, PY1NB and others. Anenlightening experience!

I was a team member of K3LR during the ARRL International DX Contest Phone 2011. A very impressive station with some of the best operators in the world. Thanks to Tim and the rest of the group. The current photo at QRZ.com is from this operation.

My CE3/XE1KK and YV5/XE1KK logs has been uploaded to LoTW and QSLs has been sent to the bureau. No QSL is need it in return.

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:I have stop answering bureau cards. If you want a bureau card email me and I´ll send you one. You don´t need to send me your QSL card. I do email-bureau cards once a month so please be patient if you don't get an email confirmation immediately. All my expeditions are confirmed via LoTW and the bureau and you don't need to send me your card.
