During my working stay in Norway in June 2012 I was invite by Martin, LA8OKA for
visit local Oslo radioclub LA1OTX. I enjoyed almost 3 hours long visit in their home QTH at
suburb of Oslo during their regular meeting. I was welcome very warmly and all members paid me kind attention.
During the visit we were talk about radios, portable radio activities, our amateur roots, families and other subjects. At the same time LB4YB
tried to connect ISS station by packed radio, others modified garden chairs against burglars, rest eating some snack or chatting with me.
I had very good feeling during the short time spent by this visit. All together were as a big family.
Dear girls and guys from LA1OTX, thank you again for nice and pleasent evening I spent sharing
your regular meeting. It will be kept in my mind for a long time. Take care yourselves and have a much fun with radio in future!
During my military service in the end of 80's I visited periodically one and half year radioclub OK1KVK in Karlovy Vary spa town.
It was so pleasure, meet every tuesday evening local HAM's. During the years contacts disappeared, but I revive relationship with OK1KVK via Vlada OK1FIK in recent past.
Vlada OK1FIK and Pavel OK1AW were invite me to participate on CQ World Wide WPX contest, CW part, 2009. I was very proud on it. Sharing HF operating room
with two ex-marine radio officers was great honour for me. It was new experience for me as for QRP operator too. Sitting behind a "big gun" RIG and making every
minute new DX station several hours continuously, this was totally exciting for me. Thank you, mariners. (May 2009)
OK1FIK and OK1AW were invite me to CQ World Wide WPX contest, CW part, 2010 also.
Thanks again, mariners! (June 2010)

During the last Field Day at OK1KVR radioclub my daughter tried
to operate the youth part of the contest and made about 30 QSO's. She likes it at first attempt and after this we activated
our family radioclub OK1RKZ at 144 MHz. We purchased portable mast,
borrowed TRX Icom IC-706, found my old 4 element Yagi antenna and during the every third sunday of the month me and my daughter
are active in OK activity contest. If its bad weather, we use our home QTH facility.

Last two Field Day contests I spent with my friends from OK1KVR radioclub,
located at Vrchlabi town in Krkonose mountains. First weekend of July I usually enjoy my holiday at Turnovska bouda
cottage, which is near to Vrchlabi and then is so easy to participate at this action.

In november 2006 I started 24 hours real time spectrum monitoring of special QRP beacon
OK0EU. This beacon transmitting
at actually (august 2007) 5 accurate and stable frequencies with 4 Hz separation, from 5 different locations.
Signal from 50 metres long wire receiving antenna (installed 15 metres above ground at
Praha Ruzyne - JO70DC) leads to TRX IC-706 through high voltage protection.
AF signal from TRX leads to soundblaster of conventional PC, where running
Spectrum Lab
software with
FFT
analysis.
Spectrum images, captured every hour, are uploaded via FTP to
website automatically.
It is possible to observe several infrasound phenomenas in ionosphere above the
Czech Republic at spectrograms, displays as Doppler
frequency shift on HF carrier. It can be recognized ordinary and one or more extraordinary
rays, dispersion of carrier, drop out of space-wave (when the critical frequency dropped below
3.5 MHz) and others.
Project is realized with support of OK1DCP,
scientist of Institute of Atmospheric Physics,
Department of Upper Atmosphere, which is
operator of OK0EU beacon also.

Beacon OK0EN I build shortly after I gets a licence. It was secondary product of my QRP activity in these years. Beacon consist
from crystal Colpits oscillator, PA 300 mW INPUT, keyer (made of TTL integrated circuits - multiplexer and demultiplexer reads
diode matrix, synchronized by 555 circuit timer) and power supply. It is simple, but works a years without problems.
But antenna is too bad. Dipole 2 x 20 metres, 8 metres above ground only, one of arms is under roof of family house, at lowest place
in village. No space, no land. Due to vertical radiation pattern (no coverage at low elevations) I call it "european one hop iono beacon".
Longest report is from Northern Ireland.
Time to time I participate on VHF and UHF contests with my local radioclub OK1KKD (see OK1KKD by OK1XED also).
Guys from club are specialized for microwave and power technology and operation. Favourite action is "Field Day", where is regularly
high attendance of club members and other friends.
As a member of OK QRP club I became shortly after my several first QSO's with low power at 80 metres in 90's. OK QRP club organize
meetings and contests, issue magazine, learn children build small and simple RIGs at summer camps and many others activities, all about QRP.
There is no problem make a QSO to other side of the Earth with PA 1 kW. It is very exciting to build small RIG himself and make
QSO over ocean with 1 W with that. QRP is a HAM lifestyle.
OK QRP CLUB
Radio freaks, which are listen anything is on the air. Definitely, without compromise. It's a good feeling, to share
this deviation.
Czech and Slovak DX Club
Flying between clouds, working on the board, sometimes get a mike and make QSO. I have a good job. Really.

Over the 12 years I organized HAM Kladno district meetings. It was fine, new friends I gets, many beers I drinked up. Thank's to continuator OK1CEP for next progress.
HAM and CB meeting Kladno
Classical rock, maybe spiced little southern and blues, that's the good food for me. I must have it more then several times a year, otherwise I died.

I like observe planets, Moon and Sun, of course. Sun is my secret love. I like everything about Sun, our star, which give
us a life. I like observe also sunsets and sunrises with twilight effects and make photos sometime.
Sun is life, exactly.
I don't believe all. I try to get information from several sources, synthesize them, compare, think and evaluate. That's the scepticism in short.
Czech Skeptical Club
I check that radiobeacons, which are telling pilots where to fly. Responsible, but nice form of radio. Hmm, when I am not a sick on board.
