Biography

Welcome!

I am 5N0YEN since 2024, Greetings from Lagos, Nigeria, Africa where I have lived for more than 20 years.  When most people think of Nigeria, they think of a very different image of what is the real situation (above).  Probably not what you expected?  The photo was taken from my DJI Drone looking over Victoria Island, Lagos.  VI is the commercial and urban area of Lagos.  

First licensed as VE7YCZ ~1994,  and after a 30 year hiatus, and recently got back into it. There is currently no Amatuer Radio Club in the country, but hopefully will be able to create one soon, and setup a DMR Repeater, and introduce more people into this very exciting hobby.
