Biography

Hello Hams, my name is Alvaro Gómez.

I'm RadioAmateur from 9 years old. From that time I was operating with my father Álvaro Gómez Orduz on a Grundig transmitter, teaching me CW, Q Code, hearing weather bureau trafic, learning electronics and fixing radios. He was radio telegraphist licensed first class and radioamateur like HK3ATA past time. Now he is retired, but I am part of this interesting and amazing service.
