Dear yl's and om's,

Thanks for reading me. I live near Paris but work in Paris center: I love traffic jam :((

But I was born in Bayonne in S.W France ddfm:64 close to atlantic ocean and pyrennees mountains, I go there as often I can to see my family and friends.

My job is "chef de cuisine" , I like it very much because you can play with flavors,texture,colors and so on .Well let's go back to radio: I first discovered short waves when I was young ,we were living in Ivory coast (TU land) with my parents and every night we were listening to R.F.I I was fascinating .And then scanning to others countries I sent my first qsl's in fact i would rather say post cards with SWL reports! but I was so proud to receive an answer from a foreign country (well I was 10 years old) then I discovered CB while travelling in the U.S, I brought back to France a General electric 40 channels I was 12 years old ;and propagation was great, with a dipole i could qso easily with Australia,5 watts in am !!! but something was missing. My father passed first his ham license he showed me a new world of radio "ham radio" with cw,sstv,and so on .then I followed same way ;=)

My other hobbies are : sea fish tanks but I am specialized in sea horses and amphiprion ocellaris fish with anemons of course!!!

and I love oldamerican cars: I enjoy every sunday( only day out of work)my oldsmobile cutlass supreme model 1973 rocket 350 V8 what a thrill each time!

By the way you can reach me on D star (now digital) F1ZPL repeater vhf way or HF after my work: I use an icom 91 AD and Icom 7000 in my car. At home I use now an Icom 7600 and a yaesu Mark V with a cubex 3 elements,5 bands+6 meters and also a G5RV for lower bands.

Thanks again for reading my post. Have a nice dayand hope to hear you soon or read you soon on psk or rtty. 73's 88's de Nat
