I start programming in 1984 with Apple II and Commodor VIC20 or ZX81.
I’ve started to be a shortwave listener in 1990 with Sony ICF7600 but i’ve stopped some years later and start again radio listening shortwave in 2017 with the YAESU FRG100 in the middle 2018 also with the actual FT857D.
I get my amateur radio licence in November 2018
I’m very interested by listing of ELF VLF (SID)
I also do FT8 and WSPR and some listening decoding SSTV and easyPal images and also FAX with different applications.
My need is: more time in one human life to do everything i wish !
