Hello,

Welcome to my home page. In the next lines I will tell you a little of me, my activity as radio amateur and my shack.

So, the name here is António Pereira, I was born in Lisbon in October of 1963, I am married with Ana Cristina (CT1YSX) and we have a 3 years old daughter Rita. We live in the south side of the Tagus river, in Vale de Milhaços located at 38,675 North 9,147 West (in IM58KQ).

In 1990 I received my first radio amateur license (class C). Six months lather I feel ready to start, at the beginning of February ‘91 I made my first QSO as radio amateur with Andy (HA0IM) on ten meters band. In the same year of 91 I made exam for the class B. From September ‘93 to March ‘95 I was operative from Angola (Luanda) as D2EGH and D3X in GI60OF where I made almost a hundred thousand of QSO’s. In ‘95 I passed to the class B and in the Summer of that year I operated as CQ7U for two week-ends. In February of 2000 I went to East-Timor where I was until August of the same year. At March 23 I received from the United Nations the authorization to operate as 4W6GH from Dili (PI21SK) in East-Timor (OC-148) and I made the the very first expedition to the Island of Ataúro (OC-232) with the callsign 4W6GH/p. From East-Timor I made approximately forty thousand QSO’s.

There is not much more to say, the past is very recent, but the histories are many to count.

As working conditions (as usual) a lot of stuff. As transceivers we have a old Sommerkamp FT-277ZD, a Yaesu FT-890, a Kenwood TS-850S, a Sommerkamp FT-800 and a Icom P42A. At the antenna system we have a Crushcraft A3S (14/21/28 MHz) mounted in a 12 meters tower above the roof, one Tagra DDK-40 (7 MHz), one slope dipole for 1,8 and 3,6 MHz, inverted "V" dipoles from 7 MHz through 28 MHz including WARC bands (one by band), one Ground-Plane for 28 MHz, one Ground-Plane for 144 and another one for 440 MHz. Have also a linear amplifier TL-922 from Kenwood, a old monitor scope Heatkit SB-620 very useful on RTTY, interfaces (for PSK, RTTY, SSTV and PACKET), a 1 kW Marconi dummy, tuner's, meter's and other things. A computer PIII 700MHz supports the station.
