Born on 23th February 1974, on Faial isl, Azores, a small lost paradise in midle of north Atlantic.
Ham since 1994, using initialy only the HF bands, quikly fell the need to go up on frequency. When at Aveiro University (Electronics and Telecomunications Engineering), i have found a great entusiasts of MicroWave like CT1DMK and CT1WW, with whom i have learn so much. CT1WW as past away but i keep best feelings about this great man, and a great Ham.
Ham radio is not the only hobbie i have. Rowing, diving, sailing, fishing, walking on the fields... Every sports related to water are all welcome. Beeing close to Nature is my priority, since i remenber i'm live.

Also Vice-President in Horta Naval Club for the next two years.
