[edit]
Benjamin Franklin (January 17, 1706 – April 17, 1790) was an American polymath: a writer, scientist, inventor, statesman, diplomat, printer, publisher and political philosopher. Among the most influential intellectuals of his time, Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States; a drafter and signer of the Declaration of Independence; and the first postmaster general. Franklin became a successful newspaper editor and printer in Philadelphia, the leading city in the colonies, publishing The Pennsylvania Gazette at age 23. He became wealthy publishing this and Poor Richard's Almanack, which he wrote under the pseudonym "Richard Saunders". As a scientist, his studies of electricity made him a major figure in the American Enlightenment and the history of physics. His inventions include the lightning rod, bifocals, glass harmonica and the Franklin stove. This 1778 portrait of Franklin was painted by Joseph Duplessis.Painting credit: Joseph Duplessis
My interests

I am an amateur radio operator |
As amateur radio I have been licensed since 1994 using now CW qrp and RTTY and occasionally other digital modes. I'm using French, English and Spanish to communicate. My hobbies are collecting photos of official post boxes from everywhere especially the pillar boxes because I suffer from puxisdiphterophily (don't worry it is good for health !).
I am also interested in heraldry. My other interests are astronomy and rugby. For further info please wait to let me time to write down on this page. See you soon ! ¡ Hasta pronto ! À bientôt !
