      I am radio amateur since 1980  when  I pass my  first HAM  examinations for 3-rd class license (novice). Since
   than I am  a member  of  radio  club "Nikola Tesla"  in Stip,
Z37M.  After 3 years, 1983, I pass next examinations
   for 2-nd class and I got my  first  own call YU5XTC. My  first  activity  from my home was with TX Yaesu FL-50b
   and RX Trio  JR-500s. In  he  beginning I have only dipole  for 40m and 3 ele. yagi for 15m. I used this call next 3
   years  and 1986  I change  it to YU5JA. Same year  I got new radio, transceiver FT 101e and 1990 I put 2 ele. 3
   band  quad. After separating  from Yugoslavia 1992, Macedonian amateur association bring temporary solution to
   change  our prefiex to  4N5  till  to  time when Macedonia will get  a new prefiex  from  ITU. So short  time I was
   4N5JA. In  1993 Macedonia  became  a member  of  UN and  we got  new  prefiex  from  ITU, "Z3". and I became
   Z32JA. Next 2 years I had  a new  radio Kenwood TS 930s  and after that I replace it with  FT-101 zd. I upgrade
   my 3 band  quad to 5 band (included  warc  bands 17 and 12m). In 1995 I pass  last  examinations for first class
   and  after that my call was changed again in Z31JA. 1997 I have a new radio FT 920, HF plus 6m, so that was a
   reason  to put one band  more on my quad so its now 6 band HI. In 2001 after some new law regulations we got
   chance to cut one letter from the sufiex and I change my call to Z36W

      As  a member  of the radio club,  I was very  active in the contests. Me and my friends form the club founded
   contest  team and named it  "Z30M Contest team"  in  memory for our ex contest call. Several years ago for our
   contest activity we are using location of the sport air port Susevo, which is about 8 km away from Stip city. We
   are very proud of many our  big  results specially in  WW and  WPX RTTY contests. Several times we were world
   winners in multi op categories.
