BIOGRAPHY
During 1950-1959, when communication between the cities of
San Isidro del General and San Jose (100 miles) was hard , using ham
radio equipment was vital, especially during natural disasters such as
earthquakes and hurricanes. And even more so when conventional
communication via telephone and telegraph failed.
Enthusiasm for ham radio awoke in my father Fernando Paez (TI2FPS),
who started the hobby as a method of communication for his businesses
in the gas station industry and the transport of livestock and
produce. At the young age of 9, I made my first communication in the
40mts band with a Heathkit DX 40, a short wave receptor and an antenna
dipolo held by two bamboo poles. The first QSO took place during October
1959 with TI80CH,.
And so was the beginning of an activity that has given me great
satisfaction and peace throughout fifty years. I have made great
friends both locally and internationally. My inclination has been
towards DX and contests. I have even been included in the ARRL Honor
Roll with over 350 countries, specifically in Phone (SSB).
I have been part of the TI1C contest group, formed by my friend
Carlos Fonseca (TI4CF) , with whom we have participated and won several
international contests. In several occasions we have been accompanied by
famous operators from the United States. Also, as TI2CC I have
obtained great international positions. I have been part of expeditions
to Cocos Island (TI9CF, TI9CC, TI9C) as well as in site missions during
the earthquakes in Nicaragua, Mexico and El Salvador.
Having retired as an Horticulture Engineer, specializing in
International Commerce, as of 2012, I have dedicated part of my time to
my favorite hobby and I hope to enjoy more time with my radio friends as
well as getting back into contests and expeditions.
I am constantly renovating my equipment and antennas, because I like to be heard well around the world.
