Biography

Specialized in electronics, I learned telegraphy and made my first QSOs under the guidance of the late YO8BAM, Costi, in Iasi. I improved during my military training and obtained my broadcast license in 1984, in Bârlad. I worked at IRB (Bearing Factory), and from 1996 I decided to dedicate myself to the family business (trade and electronic services). I have built various devices according to published schemes or my own design, I have published articles in the specialized magazines of the time, I have established discussion groups on the Internet, I am the administrator-editor of several websites dedicated to electronics and radio amateurs, I have promoted radio amateurs on the Internet, in the circles of friends and schools in the area. Participation in competitions has earned me various diplomas and I have a collection of QSLs.
I do everything for passion and if possible I would buy time.
