Biography

Hello,
Dear Ham
My name is Miguel, and I have this hobby of Ham Radio since 1973.
I begin my interest in radio listing short wave with an old receptor with tubes and then a portable transceiver for 11m - 27 MHz (Citizen Band). This was my 1º school of radio.
I remind you that in those days it was not allowed to use any kind of tx/rx radios in Portugal.
Liberty only arrives in the year 1974 with the Carnation Revolution “ Revolução dos Cravos” on April 25.
Only the Ham Radio bands were allowed for that propose at that time.
So, me and my friends were in a complete illegality ...but those days were really fun.
In 1980 I went to the army, and I was allocated on the Telecommunications Sector, it was a very good experience on radio.
In 1983 I’ve passed the examination tests to Ham Radio and get permission to operate the “A“ category with the call sign of CT3FM.
For professional reasons, I’m out of radio some long years, but now I am back again.
My present interested in radio is in VHF/UHF and SHF bands. Satellite is one of my actual activities on the bands.
I intend to put in the air a parabolic dish for EME (Moonbouce operation) on 1.3 and 2.4 GHz, so if you cut me don’t hesitated in give me a report.
