Biography

My name is Marc VE2CDR, I Iive in the Montérégie region located in the southwestern part of Quebec, Canada. First became interested in radio and electronics at a early age. I've always been deeply interest in electronics. I bought receiver sets and started taking them apart to figure out how they worked.

Electricity has captivated me since that day. To this day I still find radio communication to be an awesome medium. I particularly enjoy the High Frequency (HF) bands. Over the years, I have constructed small projects i.e. Ex: Receivers, Morse key devices, Coil Traps, Antenna tuners etc. I enjoy repairing radios and test/workbench equipment.

I’ve always operated with different HF transceivers, i.e.Ex: Yaesu, Kenwood, and Icom equipment. My existing station is a ICOM IC-7300 transceiver and ICOM IC-7600 transceiver with an ULTIMAX Inverted V Double Bazooka Tri-Band (20M-40M-80M). I will be installing an HF Vertical Dipole within the next few months.

I hold an Extra Class License and have been a ham since April 1999. Hope to see you at the bands. Good DX!

73, Marc VE2CDR
