Welcome to my QRZ.com page.

 

I'm a licensed Ham since 2006.

This is my little shack at home.

As you can see, I like the charmy vintage Yaesu radios !!

From home I use on the HF my perfectly working FT-101-ZD with all her old accessories, while for the VHF I have the FT-225-RD and  the FT-790-R for the UHF

Recently I bough a rare 6 mts FT-625-RD, a FV-101 VFO and power amplifier FL-2500 and a brand new FT-991, not yet in the picture.

I also have two nice receivers: the FRG-7700 for the HF and the FRG-9600 for the V-UHF.

My vertical antennas: HF " Diamond CP6 " and the V-UHF " Discone " both mounted on the balcony. There are also a couple of more RX verticals and one HF rotary dipole on the roof.

Unfortunately I don't have so much space for the antennas and for the shack, but everything is working fine and I'm happy with that.

I'm a member of the ARI radio club IQ5VZ.

 

MY JOB:

Professionally I'm a yacht's captain.

This is my radio station onboard;  FT-857 D connected to the yacht's marine band SSB antenna, a whip 7 mts long.

Mainly from the yacht I operate in digital modes; I like to make QSOs in PSK and JT65

 

So, due to my job I'm very often transmitting from different countries or as /MM.

Currently I'm cruising in the Caribbean sea.

 

 

QSL

I like the old HAM style to send and receive the QSL via the Bureau, and doesn't really matter to me how long time is taking to arrive at destination.

So I will send to you a QSL via Bureau if you indicated in QRZ.com  that you like to receive QSLs via the Bureau, and than I will wait for your card.

But  please always send your QSL to IZ5KID, even if you are answering to my QSL sent from a different country or /MM.

Sorry about some delay in answering to your QSL, but be 100% sure than soon or later I will do it.

I use EQSL.cc as well and direct cards to my home address are also very welcome.

 

HOBBIES

During the winter 2015 I assembled my first QRP RTX from a Kit, the BITX-20

I needed the help of a good friend to make the necessary alignements but now the radio  is working properly, and the construction of the circuits was a very interesting experience.

 

 

I'm also doing some experiment with the Arduiono's cards

 

                                                                                                                                          

 

 

 

 

 

This is a simple project for a weather station

 

Another great hobby of mine: to fly with my microlight !
