"Brief Profile"

1. Introducion

1.1) Hello Every one

I've started my activity in the frequency a good lot of years ago, but I interrupted to continue my studies of Management. I returned in 1989. Since then I made several thousands of QSO's and I dedicated myself to her continuously.

1.2) I became an HAM Radio Operator in June.1997. working only the 2m and 70 cm. After 2009, I start operating 2 more Bands. So, now, I can "work" the  70cm, 2m, 6m & 10m - like all "CT5's". However, basically, I only operate 10m.

2) Since 1999, however, I was invited to take part officially in several events, namely "Multi-Stations", such as CS1A, CQ7R & CR5T.

1999 - CS1A (CQWW SSB DX Contest) - (#1 Portugal - #73 Europe - #150 World)

4. DX Activity today

Returning in 2015, after 5 years of non-regular DX Activity, I started only on the 10m. However it was necessary to recover all the logs (since 2010), which were in "paper" support, test new Log Programs, choose one or two compatible with other new functionalities (ex .: "eQSL" and "LoTW") and re-launch all in new computerized form. It was a long job!
On the other hand, I have yet to collect very varied information and process them in various ways. Everything takes time, from research to process the data and I'm finding that require prior review before being processed.
For this reason I am still not completely dedicated to the DX, a situation that will occur soon.

6. "Stand-By" Frequency (ies): 

     (28.407 and 28.507) KHz / USB
