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.

Worked DXCCs:

Equipment

Rigs:
1. Pofung GT-5 (HongKong division of Baofeng, somewhat better and conform radios)
2. Chinese Micro Mountaineer CW 7.030MHz (clone of 49er, still modding it to increase its power)
3. QRPGuys 40/30/20m DSB Digital Transceiver II (a low price for an impressive quality device, fun to build and fun to operate)
4. mcHF QRP SDR transceiver (this one rocks!)
5. QCX-mini for 20m
6. uSDX (work in progress, collecting parts, not working yet)
7. Chinese 8-band uSDX (a good one)

.. and the list seems to keep on growing ..

Antennas:
1. QRPGuys Mini 80m-10m No Tune End Fed Half Wave for 30m
2. homebrew multiband EFHW
3. short whip for the CW part of the 20m band, modded from an old ML165 CB antenna
4. D-Original DX-HF-PRO-1 multiband mobile antenna (amazing antenna)
