Biography

Hi, my name is Felipe and I was born in Belo Horizonte (MG) in December of 1991. I received my first amateur radio licence as PU4FSC (class C) in 2009 with 17 years old, in 2013 my class B radio licence as PY4WD and in 2014 also as PY4WD my class A amateur radio licence. I am mostly active on HF with CW and digital modes, also on VHF and UHF in digital modes and satellites. My Hobbies are designing and building antennas, most of my antennas were made by myself.

I'am a Aerospace Enginner graduated at Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) in 2016, and since then I work with helicopter maintenance as Maintenace Engineer. Today I live in Rio Acima, a small gold mining town 20 km southeast of Belo Horizonte(capital of MG). Minas gerais (translating: "General Mines) is a state of wonders, with his mountains, rivers and waterfalls. The state main economic activity is gold, iron, manganese and niobium mining.
