Biography

Hello,

Thanks for reading my profile, a little about myself.
I am not from a technical background, but I like this for communications, radio, computer.

I'm born in 1966 in Champagne region in north east part of France.
Ham radio is my main hobby.
I was first licenced in 1993 with FD1ILB (old 1srt classe french licence) and rapidly became F5ILB (1 rst classe licence).
(many thanks for F5OAB who give me the virus and F3GJ (unfortunatly SK) for their support!!!)
Some of you have certainly FBC1ILB in their log, special prefix for the world football cup in France in 1998.

My main interrest in ham radio is for DX in HF, but also SSB on 2m,
talking sometimes with friends on repeaters, or digimodes (packet and RTTY, replaced by PSK for my now)

Recently, i participate to french HF championship (Coupe du REF).

I like collecting QSL cards from everyone and everywhere (OM-YL-club station, SWL), so please send me yours if we had a contact together.
