Biography
Hello, I was born in 1961 and I've got my OM license in 1977. After a couple of years of short waves activity I started my interest in VHF band, motivated by the possibilities offered by a great range of propagations mode, included Meteor Scatter and EME, but never I left HF, especially lower bands such as 80 and 160 m.

Equipment
Antennas:
2 m band = 18 elements (Cushcraft) and Big Wheel (Wimo)
6 m band = 5 elements (EAntenna)
10 m band = 2 elements Delta Loop
15-20-30 m band = single element Delta Loop
40 m band = rotary dipole (EAntenna 40MDY1)
80 m band = 1/4λ Full size vertical Antenna and dipole.
160 m band = Inverted V dipole(feeded at 30 m above ground level)
