About Me

My name is Nuno Lopes, licensed since 2003 and operating from Lisbon, Portugal under the callsign CT2IRY. Amateur radio has been a constant presence in my life — from chasing DX and entering contests to portable operations from historic Portuguese sites.

Beyond operating, I develop software for the amateur radio community. My most recent project — DXLab – Thetis Bridge — connects the DXLab Suite to the Thetis SDR panadapter and is endorsed and listed by DXLab Suite author Dave Bernstein AA6YQ.
