Biography

Hello my friends.....
Welcome everyone around the world here at 9A1AY, JN85QG.
I was born on July 9, 1961 in Nova Gradiška - Croatia.

I have been a radio amateur since 1976, and I worked with the call sign YU2LPT from 1978 to 1988, and from 1988 to 1991 with YT2GJ, and from 1991 to 2019 with the call sign 9A3GJ. Today I use the call sign 9A1AY.

I don't make any distinction between digital communications or SSB and CW modes in contacts, but I don't like amplitude modulation (which is what started this whole thing).

I use KENWOOD TS690S, W3DZZ for 80 and 40m, dipoles for 20, 15 and 10m, 5el. LFA for 6m ;ICOM IC-7400 ant:HEX6B 6 Band Hexbeam and 12e. Long Yagi for 2m band and KENWOOD TS-711E for VHF.
Favorite band: mostly FT8 DX-ing on the "magic" 6m band.

Attention:
Note in digital communication mode FT8 + FT4 if I do not receive RR73 or 73 contact not recorded.
*** QSL VIA DIRECT ***

VIA DIRECT 4 € - SASE (REST OF WORLD). NOT IRC

VIA DIRECT 3 € - SASE (EUROPE). NOT IRC.

I also have other hobbies such as photography, IT and fishing.
That is a short story of my radio-amateur presence in these waters.
