Biography

From a young age, at about 7 years old I discovered walkie talkies. I was amazed by the possibility of talking from a distance, every Christmas I wanted a more efficient model. As a teenager, I had the opportunity to meet two very nice radio amateurs F6BHB and F1LT. I remember their first demonstrations perfectly, I was 16 years old, I was then fascinated by all the possibilities and the performances, it was magic !. At that moment, I told myself that one day I would be an amateur radio myself! It took work ... thanks to the help of friends and F5RZZ from the radio club of LYON BRON FF1PBT I passed the exam in 1993 at the age of 29. Then, life did that ... moving, change of region, work and others I stayed 24 years away from the airwaves but despite everything, I had kept my equipment, I knew that I was going to come back one day. With the arrival of containment, I had plenty of time to be able to get my station back on track. Here I am again operational, I now have the pleasure of rediscovering the friends from before and the pleasant sensations of the past. Now I just have to learn the CW but time flies!
