Welcome to HB3YUM β Amateur Radio Station
Hello and welcome to my QRZ page!
My name is HB3YUM, and I am an amateur radio operator based in Bellinzona, Canton Ticino, Switzerland (JN45).
I have been passionate about radio communications for several years. My interest in this fascinating world is closely connected to the philosophy of Prepping: self-reliance, preparedness, resilience and the ability to communicate independently, even when conventional communication systems are unavailable.
For me, amateur radio is much more than a hobby. It is a fascinating combination of technology, experimentation, communication and personal development. It is also a way to connect with people around the world, share experiences and build friendships across borders.
How It All Began
Every journey has a beginning, and mine started thanks to a great friend, Simone β HB9IJK.
He was the person who introduced me to the world of radio frequencies and communications, and he was also the one who sold me my very first CB radio.
What started as curiosity gradually became a genuine passion. Over time, that passion grew into a deeper interest in radio communications, leading me to pursue my amateur radio licence.
I will always be grateful to Simone for opening the door to this wonderful world.
My Radio Club

I am proud to be a member of Radio Club HB9WT, based in Avegno, Ticino, Switzerland.
Being part of a radio club is a wonderful opportunity to share knowledge, exchange experiences, learn from other operators and strengthen the spirit of friendship that makes amateur radio so special.
Link: HB9WT Thank you to everyone who has been part of my journey so far, and to all the operators I have had the pleasure of meeting on the air.
I look forward to making many new contacts and friendships around the world.
