Biography

I'm Pisti, born in 1947 in Karcag, Hungary.

I gained my first more serious experience of radio during my studies at high school in my home town when I attended a radio course organised by the Hungarian Military.

After my final exams at high school, some work experience and the military service I returned again to radio and since 1969 I have been involved in the work of the HA7KLJ amatour radio station, first as an operator.

In 1976 I took an RH-C exam and not much later I was in charge of the radio station and then soon became the secretary of the radio club. Meanwhile I also taught younger people in preparation for their radio exams.

In 1978 I applied for and was given an individual permission to QSO from home using my self-built two-band (80/20 m) SSB / CW transceiver.

In the 90's I got the first serial transceiver / FT-7 /. Although it was only a 10 Watt one with a  custom-built linear amplifier,  I had achieved 100 watt power on all amateur bands, except on the WARC bands / 1pc GI-30 /.
Since 2007 a computer controlled FT-757GX with a FC-757AT tuner  has helped my hobby in retirement on all RH amateur bands. Since I live in a block of flats, the local conditions allow only the use of a W3DZZ and GP antennas. To 6M Sirio Tornado GP.

Despite of this I have many nice dialling signals in my computer log.
