My name is Rei. Call sign is W1REI. I started as short wave listener as a young teenager. I received my first ham radio license in the 80′s in the Philippines. My call sign in the Philippines is DU1LWQ. My primary interests are digital communication (packet and APRS), SSTV, DXing and antenna homebrewing. I love ragchewing and, occasionally, participate in contests. I enjoy experimenting and creating electronic projects. I also like photography and reading history.
I’m a member of American Radio Relay League (ARRL) and a former member of Laguna Amateur Radio Communicators (LARC), Makiling Amateur Radio Society (MARS) – member organizations of Philippine Amateur Radio Association (PARA), and the now-defunct Digital Communications Group (144.080). I can be heard on 40, 20, 17, 15, 2 meter and 70cm bands or DMR talk group TG51512.
