 Hello!

Thank you for visiting my profile.

I got first contact with the ham radio in early 80's. I was interested in electronics and found scouts radio club in my town. It was SP7ZJK. Martial law introduced in Poland slowed things down; our club license was revoked. However over next few years situation improved and I was able to make many contacts on club radio station. If you had QSO with SP7ZJK it was the most probably me speaking with you, as I was the most active operator for years.

In June 1984 I passed engeenering and CW exams and obtained my own ticket :-) My call was SP7RJA back then. 
Then came my University years - I moved to Cracow. This was beginning of a major break in my ham radio activity.
I finished university, found job, got married, raised children ... over 25 years passed and I did not send even single modulated radio wave ;-(

Finally in spring 2014 when cleaning my basement I found old transceiver I made in summer 1994 and Radmor R2432 FM radio (tuned to 2m band) - rusted piece of junk now.
I said to myself - time to get back to the hobby. Within two weeks I boutht FT-950, put Carolina Windom antenna on the roof and got in the air.
I made 649 QSOs as SP7RJA/9 .. and my license expired.

It took me almost two months to renew license, things REALLY chanaged in these 25 years in Poland. Offices and organizations I knew no longer exist.
