Biography

Winston Roig Jr

First license was in January 1993 as CL2WF, next two years I got CM and CO, so in 1995 operated as CO2WF, at last.
Until 2000 i was very active on all HF bands, excluding 160 and 80 mts bands. I ussually worked SSB and CW modes. After 1999 i knew PSK31 and I in love of that interesting mode, i made a lot of QSO's, mustley in 20 mts, but over the 2002 i took some break and rest for a while(busy at work). Actually (2009) I'm interested on Digital Modes, as PSK31, Packet and RTTY. Anyway i was active in multi-multi & multi-single Contest operations, like T49C and T40C, as was with CO2BCC & CO9BCC (Centro Habana Radio Club) back in 1998. T40C keep me busy on CQ WW DX, ARRL International DX and WW WPX Contest, all using CW. I hope to copy you on air soon.
I move to USA on December 18, 2013 and got my license on February 12, 2014 as technician KK4YEH, my goal is to get the Extra Class, but actually am prioritizing other personal stuff, I will active again as soon as my conditions will appear better.

I recently moved to Bushkil, PA, where my uncle lives. It will be my home for a long time. I'll probably be active on 6 meters, using mostly CW, DX hunting.
