Shack Radio F4IIZ
Greetings from far out France.More specifically, we're located in the Soutwest France, in the region of Occitanie, in a small village at about 20km West from Toulouse.
My name is Christophe an i'am 56 years old.
I have been a licensed Amateur Radio operator since June 19, 2019 and I currently hold a F4 class license (all mmodes).
In the work world, I'am since 25+ years in electronic production. Lots of cool technology , but unfortunately it don't leave much time for radio.

My history
I started radio in the 80's in SWL with a Realistic Pro-2010 and a Kenwood R2000.
My Realistic PRO-2010 is replaced by a AOR AR-3000 full band 0-2GHz and full mode that I always have.
In 1988, I bought a Yaesu FT-747GX and home made a cubical quad 2 elements.
That year, I started a license preparation Amateur radio 'D' with CW, but i never finished ...
Professional reasons made me stop radio in 1990.
2016, year of the rebirth
I took over the radio in 2016 with the purchase of a Kenwood TS-450S and Sirio vector 4000 antenna.
It is my actual tranceiver.
