I am located in the very North part of Mauritius island.
Very young, fascinated at home by voices and sounds from the old radio, I spent quite some time listening to foreign broadcasts. I carried on later for many years with increasing excitement short waves monitoring as SWL. I am now back to the island of my family's origin where I have the privilege to operate with my 3B8HH callsign.
I've done a few jobs, and for more than 10 years I have worked as reporter-photographer mainly based in Asia for one of the biggest international press photo agency. In the early 90's I have then been back to my educational training and worked as technician installing professional radio systems, maintaining communication sites, training radio operators and managing these HF, VHF, UHF and satellite voice and data networks in different countries on several continents. A new assignment in that field made me work on rapid response communication systems and deployment in disaster and emergency situations. I've then been in charge to coordinate and implement telecom strategy and preparedness to ensure safety of staff working in countries in or facing critical situations… Then, after having been running my private radio telecommunication company and several long breaks in my amateur radio activity I am smoothly back to this marvellous hobby and mainly operating CW. I am time to time active in PHONE.
I am also licenced as F5UKV and HB9DNG. In 1994, I have been active as 9Q5RP (now expired callsign). Along some years, I have operated in 5H, 5T, 5X, 9U, 9X, HB, OZ, TG9, W2, YV5, XE1, XE3, SV5,…
