Experience with FT-8
04/03/2020 14:03
My feeling about my cca 2 month operation of FT-8 mode on 2 meters (144174 kHz) is a little embarrassed. I “made” some relatively long distance QSOs (my QTH was not too good for VHF) like F,YT,9A, S2, HG and all neighbor countries. Propagation conditions were also not too good. But I was not too...

My comeback to VHF - 2 meter band
01/12/2019 22:37
After 10 years I am coming back to VHF – 2 meters band because of very poor propagation conditions on HF bands now. My QTH is very good for making QSOs on short waves but not too good for VHF. On the other hand although the QTH is located in a forest and on a slope of a hill (ASL is 400...

Digital MODES - My New Operation
04/04/2019 21:45
I can say that I still prefer CW to other modes. Unfortunately my PA is out of order now. Because of that fact and really very poor propagation conditions on SW I have started my operation on DIGI MODES with PSK31 and PSK63. My Interface (between TRX IC7410 and notebook HP450) is home made...

Deleting a part of my HAM WEB pages
03/11/2017 12:05
Because of the fact that I have operated my HAM WEB pages for about 7 years and a part of information has not been topical yet I have decided to reduce the pages. So I am deleting a part of news, photographs and the guestbook now.
