Baner

Welcome to the VA7RY Home Page

I got my first amateur radio license in 1978 and call sign SP6COZ,
in 1992 I received my Canadian advanced license and call sign VE4COZ.
After living in Winnipeg for fourteen years, I felt like I'm ready for a change, so we moved to Kelowna BC.
In 2003 I received my present call sign VA7RY
My passions in amateur radio are DX'ing and RTTY contesting, I also enjoy other digital modes.
 73, Irek VA7RY
