My name is Juan Carlos, am ham since July 1992. I live in Santiago de Cuba city about 963 kilometer South East from Havana the capital of the Cuba.

I have used the callsings CL8TW since Sep/94 until Ago/95, CM8TW since Sep/95 until Feb/97 and CO8TW since Mar/97. I prefer be looking for DX stations, IOTA references and QSOs via satellite, just do it calling CQ in some favorite bands like 28.0 or 14.0 Mhz, in CW, SSB, FM, RTTY and PSK31. Also enjoy working some contest like CQWW, CQWPX, IOTA, ARRL, ARRL 10 Meter, ARRL 160 Meter, IARU Championship, etc.... At home I have some Awards: DXCC on CW # 8278, DXCC on phone # 40471, DXCC mixed # 45852, WAS on CW # 56275, WAS on phone, WAE on CW # 2149, ISS on voice (FM) # 72, The Galapagos Islands # 198, The Republic of Ecuador # 103, Roy Neal, K6DUE Commemorative Certificate, Israeli # 341, 4x4=16 # 1251, Arissat-1 for finding a Secret Word, Arissat-1 for decoding the Telemetry and Experiment data signal and Arissat-1 for receiving a Slow-Scan TV picture. Also others from contest such as 1996 ARRL CW , 2000 ARRL SSB as member of the T48RAC team, and 2003 ARRL CW .

In Cuba we are around 8500 hams (Mar/2014). In Santiago de Cuba province we are around 550 Hams (Jan/2013) and of them 425 are in Santiago de Cuba city.
