Picture of me (left) and Boris IK4RSR in Panama Feb 2002
Second class licence in 1989 with the call IW4CET
First class licence in 1990 with the call IK4PMB
I started experimenting packet radio
then in I discovered VHF DX
limiting my activity during the contests
due to my impossibility to build an home station.
In 1992 I put on the roof 2 16 el KLM and I started
to enjoying with tropo ES and FAI
In 1994 I changed the 16 el damaged with 2 13el KLM
and I started to enjoying with HSCW and SSB Meteorscatter
that's what I prefer in VHF DX.
In 1996 I had to remove my antennas
and start a QRT period long 6 years.
In March 2002 I moved to new house (JN54LL)
and I started to rebuild my station.
The 3rd of june 2002 my last qso was done the 22nd of june 1996
at 1734z i worked EI4IX using a 1/4 wave long out of the window.
The best way to restart my activity.
Now I'm QRV again in 144Mhz
In 2007 I moved in JN54MM where I currently live and I'm qrv.
