About Me
Hello!
My name is Horacio Petrera. I am 45 years old and live in Buenos Aires city, just a 15-minutes´drive from downtown.
I got my first ham radio license in 1982 and have always been attracted to DX´ing and lately to Contesting. I have fond memories of exciting communications with exotic places and friends from the days long before the Internet and that fascination still lies deep within me and I am as excited about it all today as I was at that time.
Best of all, I have always liked meeting people from all around the world and having a nice QSO!
As a frequent traveler, I often carry an ARRL repeater directory and a VHF/UHF portable radio with me wherever I go, and I have met many hams around the world this way. However, my main interest is HF. I have transformed one of the rooms in my house into a great ham radio shack/office with lots of toys and a cozy atmosphere, and visiting Hams are always welcome to stop by for a cup of coffee or a contest.
Few years ago I’m trying to be involved on the promotion of our hobby with the “next generation” so if would like to share experiences do no hesitate to contact me.
