My slowly growing Key Collection. Looking forward to adding more Begali instruments (Magnum, Perl, Sculpture(different colour), Interpid and some limited version).

Some time I make short POTA QSO videos and upload them to my Youtube channel 🙂

All logs are being uploaded to QRZ, LOTW, Clublog and POTA.app right after the activation.

WAS

At the moment, I find myself residing in an apartment where deploying HF antennas is simply not an option. So, I’ve made the decision to take my amateur radio operations on the road, conducting all of my QSOs from various parks and outdoor locations.

It took me about 6 weeks to achive WAS CW (Thanks to POTA program). Presently, I am committed to the pursuit of the 5B Work All States award, with the added challenge of collecting stickers for the 30, 17, and 12-meter bands. I acknowledge that this undertaking will demand some patience and dedication, but it’s a gratifying challenge that I’m excited to embrace.

WAS Status (Dec 31st 2023):

DXCC

Well, DXCC is simple . I work with as many countries as I can with my Buddistick Pro and if I can close more than one band….well that’s a luck!

DXCC Status (Dec 31st 2023):

CW -> Received on 2023-12-11. (LoTW)

Digi -> 55 CFM (LoTW)

                                                               Contesting.

Well, contesting with Buddistick and a single 20Ah LFP Battery is a challenge but I am always having a blast! So far I was lucky only in SSB
