Welcome to PY3GS!

Hello and thank you for visiting my QRZ.com page!

I entered the world of amateur radio in 1997 at the age of 14. Due to age restrictions at the time, I progressed through all Brazilian license classes — from Class D, C, B, and finally reached Class A.

I’m passionate about DXing and contesting, especially in digital modes. Whether from my home station or out in the field, I'm always active and exploring new ways to enjoy the hobby.
