To understand world-class radiosport contester Filipe Lopes, CT1ILT, you need only look toward his father, Jose, CT1CJJ. Jose was the role model that showed young Filipe the joy of morse code, the thrill (and preparation) of IOTA DXpeditions, the value of hard work in building a station and, most importantly, the camaraderie that comes with close ham radio friends. Filipe is now contributing his own unique skills to station building and innovation, bringing his close friends together to operate, and achieving extraordinary results in contesting with two (so far) appearances at the World Radiosport Team Championship (WRTC). If you participate in contests, you almost certainly have Filipe's family contest station, CR6K, in your log multiple times.
In my log 9 times (10-15-20-40) all confirmed on LOTW & QRZ..... also Thanks and Best of Luck always......73 N8YN
Oh and thanks for the QSO. I remember stumbling over your call - Im more accustomed to J8s having two digits in the callsign. Very tired when you and I worked.
You weren't the only one! The J8 call created some ongoing confusion all week. Thanks for hanging in there and making the QSO. 73, KT
