Biography

73 all from a new old ham!

I passed my ham license at 16 yo in 1977 (base license, no CW so only VHF band allowed at that time)

I was active at the F1KJJ high school radio-club for 2 years (no callsign of my own), then on the CB band for 5 years or so.

After this I have been inactive for 40+ years, but I 've had renewed interested in radio first through extensive SW DX listening with hand-held receivers (Xhdata, Tecsun...) before applying for a callsign in mid-2023.

No HF base station due to antenna restrictions where I live so I operate mostly in mobile / portable except during the summer at the holiday QRA in Brittany.

VHF/UHF and HF bands in analog (voice) mode only.
