Another nice trip with my youngest son Dan. The OKFF-1952 Nerestský lom was close to our destination. Finally, we made 50 QSO on CW. There are a few photos.

My first activity this year. The OKFF-1571 is about 7km on food from my QTH. We had a sunny day and after a very busy week, I need some time to relax :). I already had LiPol battery charged, packing KX3, EFHW antenna, paddle and other stuff was ready in a few minutes.

After two years as OK7AN I dediced to return to the old callsgin. The new one was good, quite short but I could not get used to it, maybe because I had been using OK2CQR for over 20 years. The decision was made, from 1st of May 2019 I returned to the air with OK2CQR. 

We celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Czechoslovak Republic (Czechoslovakia) on October 28, 1918. I'll be one of the special callsigns on the air. You can get very nice award for QSO with OL100 callsigns. I'll be active as OL100C.

More information about the award is on OKDXF website related to this event.

I drive around this area always when I go to work or return home. It took some time but I decided to visit it this afternoon. We have a few last sunny days and it's really nice and relaxing to spend them in the nature.

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 it after the end of the contest. The propagation was really bad, we made over 1400 QSO.  I gave 161 to all FOC members after the QSO. There are a few photos from the contest.  

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!

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.

Today I got my licence for 60M. If you want to make a QSO, please send me an email. I can work on these frequencies:

CW: 5227.5, 5290.0, 5299.5, 5314.5, 5332.0, 5334.5, 5363.5, 5368.0, 5373.0, 5396.5, 5400.0, 5405.0

Rig will be TS-590SG with sloper for 80M tuned with LDG Z-100 autotuner. See you on the air!

Last year was very successful in my ham radio career - over 5000 QSO. Unfortunately not everything was good... .
