about me

I was interested in radio at an early age when we had a commercial AM/FM receiver. I was listening to Medium Wave and the goal was to listen to far away stations. Listening to stations from Egypt, Algeria, Italy was a great fun for me!

The real start in radio hobby was in 1998, when I started tuning HF. I was listening to SWBC such as Deutsh Welle, BBC Arabic... Little by little, I bought a new receiver (AKAI AR-1205), and I became a radio monitor for some radio stations. This pushed me to learn more about propaguation, antennas...

One year after, I had a new receiver which was RadioShack DX-375 and I became interested in clandestine radio stations especially in war time (Afghanistan, Iraqi war in 2003...). This was really enjoyble!
In 2002, I dicovered by chance the 'amateur radio' hobby and that there is an amateur radio station in our city (Sfax) at 2 kilometers far.
Later, I became a member in this scoot radio club which is 3V8SF.
I bought an SSB Receiver by RadioShack Model DX398. Since that time I track DXPeditions (especially IOTAs), collect QSLs, use all modes (CW, PSK, RTTY, Hell...).
I'm also active from Tunisian radio club stations such as 3V8SF and 3V8SS... I'm very interested in Contesting...

What I have to say is that this hobby pushed me to enlarge my experience, not only in radio but also in other fields like Web design, languages, culture... and the most important thing, the large number of friends from all over the world that I have, thanks to radio.
