F1RUM

Experience

I was licenced about 30 years ago but I really practice since 2019.

I really like digimode such as PSK, MFSK, Olivia or Hellschreiber. I also go to surrounding summits near the QRA for HF voice contact.

I regularly begin to learn CW  ... I would be very happy to work this mode.

My log is accessible on my personal website
