If you need a paper QSL, as first and best option please get it from my QSL manager, EA5KB.

I do not collect green stamps as somebody suggested in a very nasty comment on DX Summit sometime ago but, believe it or not, the mailing cost for a normal airmail envelope out of my country is over US$ 6.00.

So, if you want a direct QSL please send a SAE (NOT SASE) plusUS$ 5.00 to following address:

Jaime Gomez Rueda - Code 221

PO Box 02-5242

Miami, FL, 33102-5242

USA.

Please NO IRC's. Our post office do not accept them.

Do not send QSLs to Colombian Bureau because I will never get them.

I upload my log monthly to LOTW and eQSL.

Born in Bucaramanga in 1946, Licensed in 1959 as HK7AHM, I became HK3AHM in 1966 and HK3AHM/1 in 1981. I changed my call letters to HK1N in 2007.

Electrical Engineer in 1969. My major is Microwave Transmission. I have been Project Manager for many networks in Colombia, Central America (Panama, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador), Brazil, Paraguay, Jamaica and Malaysia. Now that I am retired, I am President of DXARC, DX Colombia Amateur Radio Club and has been Technical Director of Jumanji Antenna Farm, HK1NA. - since its beginning in March 2010. (See web page www.DXARC.org).

Besides radio, I like fishing and guitar playing. My wife is Kimie Mukumoto, from Osaka, Japan. I met her in 1970 in Yokohama Kenshu Center during a Microwave and Data Transmission Training in NEC Nakagawa plant. We live in Barranquilla, a nice, hot and humid city, close to the Caribean Ocean. We have one daughter, Christine Mari and 3 grandaughters, Jessica Mari (20), Jennifer Mari (15) and Juliana Mari (7).

I operate 99% CW (I was CW operator in Malpelo - HK0TU Dxpedition in 1990 and in Malpelo 2012 - HK0NA) and enjoy equipment repair and rebuild. My rigs include an Icom IC781, IC2KL, AT500, a Collins 51S-1,Collins S Line, KWM-2A and 2 x 30L-1 Linear Amps, plus my first SSB/CW transceiver, a Heathkit HW-100 which I have recently rebuilt.

I rebuilt a Harris RF-2301A which I use for PSK31 and I am working in rebuilding a Shimizu Denshi SS-105D which I hope to have on the air soon.

See you in the bands, folks, 73's
