IARU HF Championship as OL6HQ

I was part of the 15M CW team in IARU HF Championship. The contest started at 1200 UTC and first 40 minutes was great but I had to leave the station because of horrible headaches. I had to spend the rest of Saturday in bed and returned to the radio at Sunday 0500am and left […]

Meeting with Joe, WC4R

Joe is the owner of callbook.us domain which is redirected to HamQTH.com. We were in touch via email for some time and last year, he wrote me they are going to visit some EU countries this holiday. Finally, we met in Prague this morning and had a lovely eyeball QSO. Thank you, Joe!

My activity from Flora & Fauna areas

World Flora & Fauna program is very popular. You can work several stations from different areas every day. I was also active from three areas this year. Twice from a car, once with QRP FT-817.  My next activity will be with QRP directly from the area. Sitting in the car is not funny.

OK/OM DX Contest in SO AB HP

My first contest in this category. Actually, it was not all bands, a few days before the contest, something happened with my sloper antenna for 80M. I used it also for 160M. All band category without two bands :).
