CR6K: CT1ILT takes his Family Station to New Heights

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.

CR6K is one of the stations I usually work on all bands. Legendary crew in what they all achieve.

Fun stuff to see!
I think OH8X was the first I saw that used touch screens back in late 2000s. I have used touch screens since around 2012 but I mainly use them for rotation. I still like the mechanical click for changing antennas :)
