I like to test new ant during portable operations mostly on contests (my base QTH in Brno is vy bad)

My favorites bands: Ten and Six Meters

I started this fascinated hobby at age about 12 wanted to know what is beyond 16m shortwave of my fathers old tubes receivers! It took me long time to get on Ten, I developed many measuring equipments (GDOs, Antennascopes, Keyers, Ant. Tuners and of course TCVRs)

My best TCVR: Home made with tubes, front end with Xtal filters for 40m and 4 tuned circuits for 160 to 30 meters. Transvertors for upper bands. Later in mid 80's same filosophy with VMOS FETs.
