Biography

I am radio operator since my early age of 12.
I start with a simple CB radio with only 23 AM channels and a mobile antenna on my window....I toke the "virus" after my first DX-QSO with USA (AM mode and 5 W)!

I'm OM since 1998 (my old callsign IW1RCT), F1VJT is my new callsign from 2004.
I work specially to 40 to 10 meter band (WARC included) in SSB or CW, no digital mode.

I'm learning CW....OM be patient, I'm still QRS!!!

I have assembled many QRP CW transceivers (SWL Rockmite20, Hendricks DC20, Forty 9er and Pixie kits for 40 meter band) and, the last arrived, a µBITx (HF all mode, 10W)
I have added a DDS VFO into my DC-20 and Rockmite transceivers. A little PA of 20W have been installed in the DC-20 enclosure (in use high power only powered by a power supply or big battery); the power is still switchable between 20 and 1W for QRP operations.
My Rockmite it have about 1.5 Watts (@13.8V) and it work from 10 to 18 MHz.
