Hi all,


my name is Josep and I was first licensed in July 1992 as EA6ACC, but after some years, and due to participate in Contests, I thought it would be easier to have a 2-letter suffix, so I requested it and was issued with my actual EA6BF call.


I am devoted to CW and operate that mode 100%.

In the past I have done some RTTY, and achieved DXCC Low Power in that mode, but soon I quitted and dedicated only to CW, my passion.!


I work all bands, and in the last years, and for many years, I have been dedicated to 160m. I have worked 240 countries there, all US states and all 40 zones. My antenna for this band was a 27m top loaded vertical, homedade. Unfortunately, back in 2021 and due to aging and strong winds, it collapsed.

Now I have a very simple 1/4λ Inverted L, so at least I have something to go on the air for Topband.

Of course, not pretending to work long distance DX with this antenna.!


I am a proud member of several CW Clubs like,

BUG #256

CWOps #3072

FOC #2182 (was #1724 in my first tour from 1999-2016)

Central Texas DX and Contest Club
