Biography

Hi. My name is Alejandro Barquero Gonzalez and I'm a radio ham, thank you for visit my QRZ page.

I receive confirmations: eQSL-LOTW and Direct 22-7050 Cartago, Costa Rica

I live in Cartago City, Down Town, Costa Rica.

I enjoy HF DXing mostly on phone and FT8 (DXing' while I'm working'!)

When I have the time, I enjoy homebrewing and experimenting with antennas.

I have been working in my own business for 30 years and I am also a real state agent (vehicles and properties).

I have a very beautiful family (two girls two boys my wife and me) and of course many pets, which is another one of my hobbies, the reproduction of ornamental birds.

My Shack radio:

I really like old radios especially in the Kenwood and Yaesu brands, for that reason I have several radios in those brands.
* FT-8900
* FTM-100D
* FT-890 WITH SW-2000

Among others that I also operate in my house, it depends on the type of communication I want to do, they are all with their different antennas according to what I need
