Biography

Hello,

I am ham radio since February 2016.

I am the Secretary of a radio-club : F5KAI (QTH : Esquerdes - DDFM 62).
You can have a look on http://f5kai.weebly.com

My QTH is in the north part of France near ST OMER - DDFM 62(Pas de Calais).

My full color QSL is only via buro or direct. On eQSL, it is not the same QSL.

I am member of REF (Réseau des Émetteurs Français) : http://www.r-e-f.org/

I am also member of REF62 (Local Association) : http://ref62.r-e-f.org/

We are two ham radio in the QRA, my father (his callsign is F8DKG) and me on the photo.

Best regards.
