Biography

Hi Guys:


This is my current DX station: Radios ICOM IC-751A and ICOM IC-7000. Antennas are a HEX-BEAM for 20-6 meters, an older Cushcraft ATB-34 for 10, 15 and 20 meters modified with an extra driven element for 17 and 40 meters bands (rotatable dipole), and a home made 6 meters five elements antenna. All on a 60 feet home made tower also. Rotor is the Italian Pro.Sis.Tel, model PST61D (very happy with it)

I work SSB and a little of CW where I give my nickname as "Rada" for easier copy.
I´m a logging program fan and I have been testing most of them. I´m presently using Logger32, combined with Ham Radio Deluxe and Swisslog. The computer here is an Apple iMac Dual Core, 24" screen with parallel PC emulator software.

I' m planning to comeback to RTTY and others digital modes. My preferred frequency is 14.246 MHz.
Why? Because it is my full birthday date.
I also operate on 14.214 and 14.014, since the number 14 follows me and my family: My first two children were born in March 14 at same time, but in different years. Perfect shot! - qsl? (hi hi).
