Biography
I am a radiologist (medical imaging doctor) in a pediatric hospital in Bucharest, working full time with radio waves (MRI) and ionizing radiation (CT).
Born in 1979, radios and computers passionate since forever. Linux and open source enthusiast. Licensed ham in 2020, when no more exams had to be passed.
My QTH is Tîrgoviște, the medieval capital of the country. Vlad the Impaler (you might know the character he inspired: Dracula) ruled here. Bucharest, the actual capital of Romania is 80km south-east.
