Biography

Welcome to my page!

I passed my CEPT Novice exam in 2024 September, received my callsign in 2024 December.
Please note that QSOs before this date belong to another operator, even though our QTH is in the same city.

I'm active on Phone and Digi modes as well, but my favourite mode is SSB, and most of the time I'm QRV on 20 meters. I have limited time for this wonderful hobby, but I like to get on the air whenever possible. My focus is currently on HF, and I enjoy having a good conversation about ham radio topics just as much as contesting or trying to reach a new DXCC entity.
Regarding contesting, I'm still testing the waters only, and participate for shorter periods of time, just to earn a little experience. I'm also learning CW.
