Thanks for visiting my page.

I have been interested in electronics since I was a kid.  I remembered building a crystal ( galena ) radio at the age of 12 years. 

Licensed amateur radio operator since 1.959,  ( age of 14 years ) in a novice category as HK4PJ, operating from Medellín, with a homebrew AM transmitter with 6AQ5 final tube, 4 Watts output, Hallicrafters receiver and 40 meters dipole antenna. I still have the log from my first day in the air.

Over this lengthy time I have seen many changes and advancements in this hobby.  

I studied electronics at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá, and computers and digital techniques at Phillips International Institute in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Now I am retired and living in La Calera in a country house, near ( 23 Km ) Bogotá.  ( Grid: FJ34as ), since 2.013.

Stringing and tuning new wires is one of my favorite parts of the hobby.  Also to repair vintage AM radios.

I uploaded to LoTW daily and highly recommended it. Please DO NOT send paper QSL cards.

FT8: If you do not receive " RR73 ", that means the contact was not completed and was not saved in the log.

Please note ZG2FK is the same station and operator as ZB2FK.
The ZG prefix is used by ZB2 / ZB3 operators to celebrate National Day Week     National Day is on the 10th September .

ZG2FK  OPERATIONS  ARE  NOW  IN  PROGRESS TILL  THE  10TH  SEPTEMBER  2017.

For QSLing purposes and other information please go to ZB2FK.
Gibraltar`s National Day celebrations were started back in 1992 in order to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 1967 Referendum (10th September) which gave us the right to remain British and the right to our birth place where past generations have lived since 1704.  It also gave us a freely elected Gibraltarian government / parliament to govern our internal affairs with autonomy.  During the late 90s the special prefix ZG was authorized to be used by  ZB2 / ZB3s so we could join in the National Day Celebrations in our unique way, sporting a special prefix for the occasion.  It is poignant that this year 2017 we celebrate our 50th Referendum anniversary.
Hope this short explanation on the origins of this annual ZG activation has been of some interest.   IF  YOU  HAVE  ANY  QUESTIONS  DO  NOT  HESITATE  IN  WRITING  ME  AN  E  MAIL >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hi.. Long time can not see you...but Now I can get your signal : )  73's

QSL for 3B9FR is via Charles MØOXO

Please DO NOT send your QSL via the Bureau - They WILL NOT BE RECEIVED HERE

Use ONLY OQRS for ALL bureau requests http://www.m0oxo.com/oqrs/logsearch.php

Although Robert enjoys meeting people on the air he asks that people bear in mind that for some, 3B9FR is a new DXCC, not least a new IOTA and/or Band Slot. For this reason he asks that people remember this when making triple/quadruple (and many more) qso's on the same band and mode when the pile up is heavy. Is is more than happy to work everyone but please bear in mind the pile size of the pile up and allow some others to make the qso as well. Thank you!
