But before, I already have finished courses of the radio telegraphists three year worked on collective radio station UK9UAO at DOSAAF, and had SWL call sign UA9-130-368.
Then it was authorized to me to work only on two bands, only CW and amplifying max power - 10 watt, but it only aggravated those sensations from the maiden long-line QSO.

Step-by-step there came experience, skills of designing of instrumentation, something managed to be gained from military engineering (on a photo at the left receiver "Krot"). In army I was invoked as the off-the shelf specialist. Call sign mine has become silent for 2 years.
After a army already being the student has planned to plot new radio station - the SW transceiver (UA1FA, Lapovok).

But all the same pulled in native Novokuznetsk, and on the expiration of three years, we again at home. All anew - re-legalizing of the licence, installation of antennas...
mine aged, kind call sign me has waited, I again UA9UGN!

And with all this goods, on distribution we with the wife are sent in far city of Izhevsk, where it was necessary to receive new call sign - UA4WGW, to put antenna, to equip radio station. The new friends the radio amateurs Have appeared, with aged met now only on bands.

Then already have begun to occur the maiden computers "Spectrum", "Radio-86 PK", which one also were soldered "on leg " Have appeared (or steel the types of communication RTTY, SSTV are possible) new, digital. All was interesting, all was to be tried. It was necessary to participate in different competings.
