What sort a challenge is it that
would lead a radio amateur on a convoluted course through
all the world’s continents and oceans? Working DXCC
Countries, or Islands for IOTA Program or Cities or
Prefectures from JAPAN, or Counties of USA or Provinces
of CANADA is not enough you must work much more. DXing
its fun specially if you like geography or either
different cultures or Languages of other peoples PLease
try to said "BYE" on diffferent languages? You
can start now! It’s easy ! Please try it! |
 MY ex-ANTENNA 8 ELEMENTS C4 FORCE 12 , ABOUT 17 MH TOWER ON THE ROOF OF THE GARAGE DURING OVER PAST 10 YEARS

My first real taste of DX come when I moved into my actual home building with a project of my cousin CT1BHG at north of the town. At the height of 17 mts. my rotative dipole brought the world into the shack, at the garret, and later with a tribander, I was able to compete successfully in the contest and pileups. Sometimes with special prefixes I was for the first time, the "chased" instead of "chaser" and one CQ could start a pileup. My favorites famous DXpeditioner operating from rare locations are Martti Laine OH2BH, Peter ON6TT,Ralph K0IR,Franz DJ9ZB Chris TR8SA,Aki JA5DQH, Kan JA1BK but there are many others I’ve never forget. If you want work a DXpedition don’t forget the others please limit one qso on each . Many times I listened some Hams working same DXpedition, day after day, night after night,while hundreds of others called in vain. |

| I am not an
"old-timer", especially not in DX Circles. My
interest in DX began with my first license at SWL CTØ783
and then CT1BWW, while I was a "junior",but my
activity was seriously. My only real exposure to DX came
through neighbour Jaime,CT1LV, Raúl CT1BBR and others
like Luis,CT4NH (great DX’er!). Luis it was a very
good teacher, and when we have this chance it´s much
more easy to learn.

I PROMOTE DX BECAUSE I LIKE IT! AND IT'S FUN! |
Another interesting thing is Telegraphy, finally after many years operating Phone , I find the great pleasure working CW. I must recognize it was a great challenge trying to operate CW without errors and confusion. I'm gratefful for following Teachers CT1TC, CT1DRE , EA4CQK and CR6NM. Also remember CT1BBR and CT1CWT(silent key). Finally a word of kindness a CT1DJE who give me strench to go ahed with CW. For those who are with afreid on CW I must say that if you decide learn Morse , only you have to do is spending 10 to 20 minutes everyday , during lunch time or during the night listening a recording tape and when you are copying some letters, some times you can go to your shack and try to copy some leters , don't be afrehad if you don't copy all the text. After a month you are copying well. After that time you can play 2 or 3 times a week with a key or a paddle but only with a oscilator. You will see you can do it. |
| Over past 20 years I was participating on 200 contestes: CQWW, CQWPX, ARRL, JIDXC, IOTA, COUPE REF, SP, WAE, UBA, IARU Championship , ALL ASIAN, MIR, YOVENEZUELA , ARI, OK-OM, SP, EA, YO, HELVETIA, RUSSIA, SLOVENIA, PACC, CANADA Day, VK-ZL Oceania, Seanet Contest - PORTUGAL Day, SCANDINAVIA, IBERO AMERICANO Contest, ,etc. Maybe you can work a new country on CQWW Contest! or new Island on IOTA Contest! or new Prefecture on JARL Contest! It was very nice to be participating and now I’m inviting you to be on : PORTUGAL DAY CONTEST every 2nd Weekend on June every Year. |

It's very important maintain everything working in good conditions. Every 5 years it's necessary check antenas, rotatores, towers, cables. Of course if your antenna system is very near of the sea use a good lubrification and plastic silicon and cover all screws and bolts. Because if you don't that next time you need to repair or make any modifications will be more difficult. Amateur radio it's |
