Licenced since 1967, I have had a lot of call-signs so far.

A lot of my equipment was home-brew. I build my  antennas, transceivers and VHF-UHF equipments I used, including the SHF devices.Unfortunately, I do not have much spare time to be QRV on shortwaves and collecting that rare DX . ( wkd #319 DXCC's 14.05.02 ) I also love to have long Rag-Chews with my Ham friends and that is very time consuming.

VHF-UHF DXing, digital modes, short contests and portabel ATV on 10 GHz - are my main activities now.
