My name is Rigoberto, -nickname is Rig- and my QTH is in Santo Domingo capital city of the beautiful Dominican Republic. I’ve been a ham operator since 1977. My radio interest started while a young kid, playing with a homebrew broadcasting transmitter in my hometown Guananico, Puerto Plata. Looking for a life improvement, my parents relocated to Santo Domingo City. My next door neighbor was David Tabar HI8DTG who inspired me into ham radio. In 1979 I migrated with my parents to US, once in New York City I met Arnold Lopez WA2CID who taught me CW to pass my very first Amateur Radio License with Novice call KA2NQF.I enjoy all about Amateur Radio, mainly DXing and sometimes participate in Contests.
I fell proud of being a ham since I have the fortune of meeting great people and friends in different parts of the world which I value and in some cases some are already part of my family.Amateur radio for me is making friends around the world.
I experiment with antennas, Audio processing equipment and lately enjoy listening a good quality audio or ESSB station.I am very active in most of the bands depending on propagations; one of my favorite’s bands is 40 meters.
Present and Previous calls held (in chronological order): KA2NQF-N2DJA-HI8RDG-HI8RD-KC2VFY-WA2RDG - AI8RD



Mi nombre es Rigoberto y mi QTH es en Santo Domingo, capital de la preciosa Republica Dominicana. He sido radioaficionado desde el 1977. Mi interés por la radioaficion comenzó cuando era un niño practicaba con un transmisor casero de una emisora en mi pueblo natal Guananico en Puerto Plata. Me mude a la ciudad de Santo Domingo y mi vecino era un radioaficionado, DAvid Tabar HI8DTG quien me inspiro a la radioaficion. En 1979 fui a vivir a NY en EEUU y conoci a Arnaldo Lopez WA2CID quien me enseño telegrafia para pasar el examen de Novicio obteniendo mis primera licencia de Radioaficionado con los indicativos KA2NQF.
Disfruto todas las areas de la radioaficion, principalmente el Dxismo –Ocasionalmente participo en Concursos.
Me siento orgulloso de ser radiaficionado porque he tenido la fortuna de haber conocido grandes amigos en diferentes partes del mundo los cuales valoro en su justa dimensión, ya que algunos ya son parte de mi familia.
Radiaficion para mi es hacer amigos alrededor del mundo.
Experimento con antenas, procesamiento de audio y últimamente disfruto al escuchar estaciones con buena calidad de audio o ESSB.
Estoy muy activo en la mayoría de las bandas dependiendo de las propagaciones, una de mis bandas favoritas es 40 metros.
Indicativos actuales o que he tenido (en orden cronologico): KA2NQF-N2DJA-HI8RDG-HI8RD-KC2VFY-WA2RDG - AI8RD
