This card marks the beginning of a totally
new era: in 1989 I moved to
Kyiv, in 1991 the Ukraine proclamed its independency, I
got a new callsign. 1995, Kyiv. |

A new call -- UB5ICS (HF), 1973,
Makeevka, shared with my neighbor Kon UB5IAA. |
|
While the previous card was a cheap one,
this card has more sophisticated design with a
holographic blazon (the Ukrainian national symbol). 1995,
Kyiv. |
