BIO:

Hi, you can easily hear me on HF and I love CW. I like homebrewing my own equipment as much as I can. The challenge of building things and make them work properly gives a lot of fun. You can get details of my homemade stuff at my web page.

SOTA program (Summits on the Air) and operating Portable is one of my favorite ham activity. The excitement of QRP is great and it is fascinating to combine the radio with the pleasure of landscape scenarios: there the simplicity of low power rigs is much FUN!!

For QSL: - BURO is 100% ok. LOTW: I upload my Contests and daily qso every now and then...

I hope to get in contact with you soon again! Best wishes, saludos cordiales 73
