Testing period


This to test the blog of PS8DX.


I am a brazilian amateur radio operator. I started on the hobby on 1979. Before this I was a SWLer for more then one year. I used to listen to 40 meters locals on AM. It was nice to discover all those new words on the air. After becoming a Ham operator with the call sign PS8WCJ I started making QSOs on CW using a ham radio friend equipament, operating most of the time on 40 and 15 meters and 40 meter half wave dipole. By the time I used 25 walts - Delta 310-1 (delta geloso) as XMTR and a Delta 209 as a RCVR. Getting reports to my Cq from DL, UA, F, G, GW, GM, HB9, CT, EA, W, VE, and many of the brazilian states was something I will never forget. I was certanlly a better operator then I am today with my solid state rig and all the beams and amplifliers I have now.
