Biography

Got my F1RUM callsign when I was student in 90's and never traffic until 2019 ! So I'm a young and old operator :-)

I use a Yaesu FTdx10 with a Windom 21m wire antenna on 40/20/10 bands and a 80m to 10m Chameleon EmComm III wire antenna. Generally in digimode as PSK31, Olivia/MFSK or even FT8 on HF.

For field or summit operation, I enjoy my FT-891 with EFHW or a vertical JPC-12 antenna. 

Free software fan, my computers run ArchLinux and Debian GNU/Linux !

I also have a blog in French and English : f1rum.fr

My logbook is managed by Cloudlog free software and visible on log.f1rum.fr
