Hi Everyone,

Usually on VHF/UHF locally after 5pm we get on the repeater of the 5B4NC club and we talk. sometimes when we are on the road or from home.

Due to the Coronavirus outbreak Ham Radio operators from the club started talking on the local analogue repeater.

Unfortunately i am outside of Nicosia in a village about 30km west and i wanted to get into the conversation so i went on the roof. Definitely i need to start thinking how to make my station and set up an antenna but nevertheless the experience was amazing.

My first Contact Award

Let me ask you one thing.

Do you know which one was your first contact as a ham operator?

A while back before i get my license as a ham operator the 5B4NC club has a regular weekly meeting as a club.

We gather we make QSOs as a club and generally we hang out discussing about the hobby and ways we can communicate. It's an impressive experience because each one of us new comer or old timer has different experiences and you get so much information which is vividly an experience.

Not to expatiate long our club President had an idea to create a certification of your first contact.

So on 21/11/2019 at 7:00pm UTC time i had my first contanct under the 5B4NC callsign

QSO was with OE9ICI/M at 7mhz in LSB mode.

My first Radio

Hi Everyone.

Welcome to my blog.

I am 5B4APB licensed in Cyprus in 2020.

My first radio

I bought my TYT MD-UV390 months before i got licensed so i get experience around the hobby.

As a begginer is an amazing radio to start getting familiarized with the hobby. The price is very competitive and easy to find across Europe.

CPS software can be downloaded from the Vendors Website. You might need a bit of research to understand how the software works so you can configure the radio to work.
