I have become a full English Amateur Radio Operator. From now on I will also be available at the sign M0GQU.

I think that the Polish Radio Communication Association is a mess, but what is OFCOM, the UK equivalent? I think that it is a joke.
I made my request for the allocation of an English call sign and found instead that they had assigned me a Polish sign, SP2QOU with the prefix M /. After contacting them again, it transpired that there had been a mistake and I am now waiting for the assignment of a suitable sign, which I hope will be soon.

We then began preparing the expedition. The date was then set for June 19 - August 30, 2010. So far I can say that:

• TRANSYLVANIA 4x4 and Ham Radio Expedition 2010 will be an off road event. We will lead more than a dozen vehicles the northern part of Romania, to the highest peaks of the Romanian Carpathians.
• We already know that it will be an international expedition, as we have recently confirmed the participation by 2 operators in the UK, one Polish and one from Australia.
• We are currently seeking sponsors to equip one of our vehicles with the necessary radio equipment and antenna.

I hope to give you more information soon.

For a long time I had no opportunity to work on the radio, however, I have now upgraded the settings of the antenna and am now positive of its potential. Although the signal it is still not high, there is always something to hear. :).

MKARS CLUB (Milton Keynes Amateur Radio Society) which is based in Bletchley Park was given a new room for the activities of the club in the building GH2 (Generator House No. 2). Monday saw the official opening of the new place, which I was invited to by a colleague M3DPQ (Bob). There promises to be an interesting collaboration with the club.
A week later I worked from Bletchley Park on the of breaking the Enigma code by the Poles.
Three representatives of the Communication Scout Club visited, but unfortunately I heard too late and did not have the chance to speak with them.

I'm temporarily working with the Polish mark M/SP2QOU, but do not intend to do so for long. I have applied for the English callsign with Ofcom and I am currently waiting for their reply.
I have been informed that currently in the UK there are 5 Polish operators and I hope to arrange meetings with them.

After 10 years unless the normal work of FM and it mainly on the handheld or car TRX, I decided to return to the devourer of time. It also coincided with my departure to the UK. I spent a long time waiting for the Yaesu's FT-897D, a very nice transmitter. Nearly base, and what was most important for me and having a small partition with what I want. But after a short time I realized that this would be "too big". It was difficult for me to drive an off-road car on the marshes with that radio. Therefore I made a quick decision and decided to buy a FT100 or Icom IC-706 MK2G.
I ended up on the same radio station but with a smaller package. I was in possession of the FT-857. To this dipole antenna, Automatic Tuner antenna and I can start. For an accurate description of my station, see the section MY STATION.

I had at that time, CB Presidenta Lincoln. But it worked on the CB and at 10 meters. And there can be heard as to propagate.
So, the radio goes on sale. In order not to break with the past, I left you a small car CB. And the whole amount went to purchase the first radio for HAM, ALAN CT-145, with DTMF and CTCSS. For this antenna 3x5 / 8 BIG STAR (Polish manufacturing but I don't remember who did it). Well, I heard Gdansk Repeater, sometimes Dylewska mountain Repeater. And an appetite to grow.
Another radio is imported from abroad Yaesu FT-530. That is no longer only 2 meters. Build a BAYCOM modem with ATV putty and work on packet radio. Later change into TNC2D from Muela.
And raising money for some HF equipment. But it was beyond the reach of my vollet. I ended up with receivers DRAKE, ship demobuli. And to this case by the total received in the Multi modem PK-232F to late silent key Piotr Patyk (unfortunately I don't remember his callsign). And that by many years. Working mainly on VHF.

I missed something. Greater radio, greater power, larger antennas. However, there are some problems with this. A larger radio would work, but it is illegal. Perhaps a larger antenna would be more successful, but then came the problem of where I would place it. I remember the hours spent in the CB shop in Gdynia where I would read all the newspapers concerning the CB radio, making DX communications. After some time, I learned that in Gdansk, there was a group of people wishing to be licensed Ham operators. I enrolled in this group.
As of 10 January 1994 I officially may work for bands marked SP2QOU.

I don't remember when, but one afternoon I was surprised to hear Italian and Spanish being spoken on some of the radio stations. I thought I would try and communicate with one of these stations, and so called one. It was amazing how the man on the other side of the world responded to my call. It was then that I realized that the world was open to me.
How do I look today, his writings from that period, it counted about 140 communications and it's just the basic 40 channel (FM)

With the money that I initially earned I bought President Jimmy. The DV mobile antenna attached to the sill and worked well. After a few days I received my own license and was given the number 486, which now allowed me to transmit officially and legally.
After several conversations with other users, I learned the rules of the airwaves. To this day I consider this radio as one of the best models on which I worked.
Shortly after that we met a larger group of all on Channel 21.

I bought a new radio to go back to play with DX-ing. I started playing with CB radio over 18 years ago. I was first introduced to this method of communication when my neighbor's father brought some hand radio which weighed at least 2 kg and was the size of a brick. At the time we were not aware of what the significance of this was. There was a single channel and information on the back telling the user how to work on the 27MHz and nothing more. It worked on 9 AA batteries, and gave the range of 2 km (WOW), and although it was incredibly inferior by today's standards it was exciting, especially when we heard our first transmission.
