Biography

Update:
August 2024 I found SOTA and POTA and all the other OTA programs and I have been working as much as I can all the references I can. Day or night as a hunter but soon I want to start working my own activations. Been at a Pota as activator with some other colleagues to get some practice, as although I have 47 years of CB radio experience, I have almost none has a ham radio operator.

So, with my friend's help and all the patience and understanding of all of you that might contact me in the near future, I will proceed with this small adventure by my own.

Thank you all for almost 48 years of this wonderful hobby of ours. 73

My radio history:
I found CB communications back in 1977. I used to have the Portuguese call signs CQD2459 and CQD3538, operating from Carcavelos, Cascais, Portugal.
Started with a small AM Kenwood radio that my father bought in Andorra. Later a Realistic TRC448 as mobile with a magnetic antenna, and a super base Cobra 2000 GTL with a Starduster antenna mounted on the balcony and a desk pre-amplified microphone Realistic. I still use this mike nowadays with my new radios.
Late in the 80's with the internet and computers, CB were left behind. I discovered RTTY during the Gulf War and got a Camtronics decoder and spent hours and hours "listening" to the news, that way, converting RTTY with a computer software. My CB Station was off the air from 1994 until 2015.
After all these years my husband decided to buy a CB and PMR radios.
We now operate from Manique do Intendente, Azambuja, around 65 km north of Lisbon.
We have 3 PMR radios and 3 CB radios but we are just re-starting... we intend to go further.
Every now and then I use virtual radio, like HamSphere, for instance, but I prefer real radio.
We now have a 1/2 wave Midland antenna on the roof and a complete wave "Inverted V Dipole" in the garden.
I also use PMR at home and when I go out and love FRN software installed on my computer and cellphone. Usually I use FRN at pmrsdeportugal.no-ip.org Port: 10022 Try it! you would love it, as another way to do radio.
I like to enter in cb and pmr contests and activities and for that I already have several Diplomas, since I got back to the frequency.
Hopefully one day I will be there talking with some of you. Cheers 73/51 from lovely Portugal
