SP0PGA organized by the MK QTC - The Polish Radio Amateurs' Journal.

QTC is a printed monthly for the Polish amateur radio operators, published since 1992. It is designed for the operators interested in DX-ing, contesting, award winning, and technical issues relating to ham radio communication. In addition, the magazine contains large news departments, presenting current events in Poland and abroad. QTC readers also receive electronic messages from the "eQTC Express", with the urgent and useful news on current operating activities. QTC is a magazine edited by radio amateurs and for radio amateurs. The Editors encourage the operators and listeners to contribute to the monthly on a regular basis. Information on operating activities may be sent to: qtc@post.pl. I can assure you that each message will be printed in our magazine to the benefit of our readers.

Thank you.
