I work as a Deputy Director for an Operational Department at an international airline company here in Kuwait, and I hold an Airline Transport Pilot License and I’m certified to fly a single and twin engine aircraft. I got educated in Kuwait and then studied Aeronautical Science and did my Pilot Training in the United States and Qatar.

My interest in amateur radio was awakened when I was 12 years old and my dad gifted me an 11M radio transceiver. I joined Kuwait Amateur Radio Society (KARS), having gained my A Class Call-Sign(9K2KU).

Anyway the net result was that I didn’t buy an HF rig, but using the KARS one. I am also looking in the direction of MOBILE and AERONAUTICAL MOBILE HF, VHF, UHF DXing!

If HAMs are going to use the internet.. Let's encourage them to use:

Echolink, D-STAR, DMR, AllStar, WIRES, CODEC2, SYSTEM FUSION, and BRANDMEISTER; and to talk to as many different HAMs around the world as possible.

RADIO + INTERNET = JOY !

In this time of uncertainties (COVID-19), it is a good time to rebuild & reset my HAM shack.

I've been a supporter of the radio hobby for some time, I'm a member of the Kuwait Amateur Radio Society (KARS), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the United Nations International Amateur Radio Contest DX Club (ARCDXC), the Arabian Gulf DX Group (AGDX), and a member of the World-Wide DX Linking System on Echolink + DMR. I have many achievements and is the recipient of several international awards, and a number of international radio amateurs' competitions.

It would be an honer to receive The Ernst Krenkel Medal Award. I have global and outstanding contributions to the world of HAM Radio, and this comes in light of historical relations that extend for decades between nations, helped in the growth and development of common principles and visions that unite us, and initiatives that express Feelings of brotherhood and close relationships between the peoples of the world.

Родился 22 июля 1958 года в Ташкенте.

Научился читать по книге «Юный радиолюбитель» Борисова В.Г. первого издания, которая случайно попала моему отцу, а для меня стала порталом в удивительный мир РАДИО. Радиоприемник «Балтика» у деда в доме довершил формирование мировоззрения на всю последующую жизнь. Все и всегда рассматривалось через призму РАДИОЛЮБИТЕЛЬСТВА.

Оно всегда было на первом месте при принятии решений и выбора жизненного пути: в школьные годы, при выборе профессии, учебы в институте, места работы, строительства дома, покупки автомашины и даже страны проживания.

Первые успешные шаги по выходу в эфир в диапазоне средних волн совпали с подарком от родителей-подпиской на журнал «РАДИО» 1968 года и первым юбилеем: мне исполнилось 10 лет. В 12 лет был получен первый позывной: UI8 053 287. Наблюдательство за работой любительских станций увлекло с головой. Сразу был освоен телеграф так как распирало любопытство что там передают и как ведется обмен между любительскими радиостанциями. Подошел момент, когда по возрасту уже можно было оформить индивидуальный позывной на КВ диапазоны. Сдал документы и стал делать телеграфный передатчик. Пока ждал позывной, (а на это ушла целая вечность-2 года!) закончил школу и поступил в Ташкентский электротехнический институт связи.

Хотел на факультет радиосвязи и радиовещания, но недобрал 1 балл и пришлось идти на факультет автоматической связи в надежде потом перевестись. Оказалось, что не все так просто.

Декан РС и РВ поставил условие что перевод будет с потерей 1 года и годовой стипендии. Думал я не пойду на такой шаг. Но уже был получен позывной UI8ADN и приходилось выкраивать время для учебы так как работа в эфире была на первом месте. Так я два года проучился на третьем курсе и закончил институт за 6 лет на отлично. Потом работа инженером в радиовещании и активная работа в эфире.

В 1984 году получил позывной из новой серии: RI8AA

1991 год. В день РАДИО присваивают звание «Почетный РАДИСТ СССР» и времена резко меняются. Развал Великой Страны и в результате потеря позывного RI8AA. Дошло до того, что те, кто занимался реформой позывных так увлеклись распределением четырехзначных позывных среди своего круга, что напрочь забыли о целом блоке RI8xx попутно разрушив систему привязки позывных к области и не думая о том, что через лет 10 емкость позывных в Узбекистане будет исчерпана.

Это был момент, когда пришлось бросить работу и с громадными усилиями, поначалу в одиночку пытаться предотвратить катастрофу под названием «реформа позывных». В последние декабрьские дни 1993 года, в самый последний момент, удалось предотвратить выдачу уже отпечатанных разрешений и заново проделать всю работу, максимально сохранив ранее существующую структуру позывных.

С 1 января 1994 года зазвучал мой новый позывной - UK9AA. Надеюсь это была последняя смена позывного, которому уже 25 лет! Все эти годы пришлось непосредственно заниматься отстаиванием интересов радиолюбительского движения в Республике Узбекистан и представлять его в радиочастотных органах страны. Проводить чемпионаты Узбекистана по радиосвязи на КВ и УКВ. Участвовать в международных соревнованиях и устанавливать новые рекорды Узбекистана в CQ WW и нашей 17 зоны.

Время стремительно бежит, все меняется, но та самая дедовская «Балтика» так же весело подмигивает зеленым глазом индикатора настройки с почетного места в шэке каждому новому трансиверу и мальчишке на фотографии удостоверения наблюдателя с позывным UI8 053 287.

Один из внуков начинает учиться читать. Надо будет подсунуть ему тот самый мой «букварь», с которого у меня все и началось - «Юный радиолюбитель» Борисова В.Г. первого издания.

Вдруг опять все повторится!

Born in 1951 and licensed in 1966. QRV regulary in 50 years. Living in ramat hasharon located 15 km north of of Tel Aviv.

XYL - 9N7YL/Anat. Son - 4Z5DX/Matan. Son - W7/4Z9FAG/Adam. Father - 4X4VB (S.K.)

In 1999, I met Bill 9N7ZK in the IARU convention in Tel Aviv. I had always wanted to operate from Nepal in memory of Father Moran, 9N1MM, an old friend. I also wanted to be the first to make a QSO in 6 mtr from Nepal and operate RTTY and SSTV. Plus of course, have a vacation with the entire family. So I started working on the plan.

In February 2003 I applied for the call sign 9N7DX to the Ministry of Commerce in Nepal and received the basic confirmation from Satish, 9N1AA. I then contacted my friend IZ8CCW from the MDXC Club in Italy of which I am a member and asked him to help me design a Website which would represent my activities and frequencies and 1 daily sched for everyone on 14.195 at 1500 GMT.

I finally left Tel Aviv for Kathmandu via Mumbai on the 21st of April 2003. I met my good friend Sarla, VU2SWS in Mumbai and spent the day with her, sightseeing and visiting her shack and family. On the 21st evening I was finally in Kathmandu! Hugo, 9N7YJ and my son Mat, 4Z5DX received me at the airport and we headed for the Hotel in Thamel where we put up a tower with 4 different dipole antennas and we were all set for the action.

But the beginning was not that easy. The procurement of the licence was long and tedious. I had to go from one official to another, from the bank to the ministry and it took a good 4 days for it all to end. During this period I traveled around the Kathmandu area.

I was born in 1962 and licensed as JH7PKU in 1976 at the age of 14, and have primarily been using this callsign ever since. Ex-calls include 3DA0JA, AA3JA, JF0JYP, K6I (WRTC'96), KJ5JL, V8JA, and I am an ex-member of various radio clubs including University of Tokyo (JA1YWX/JA1ZLO/JG1ZUY, '81-'90), University of Pennsylvania (N3KZ, '94-'96) and Frankford Radio Club (Philadelphia, '94-'96).

I have been active in both DX and Japanese domestic contests from home and places such as 3DA, FG, JA1, JA8, KH0, V85 and W3. Currently access to my home contest station in Fukushima-prefecture is limited due to the Fukushima nuclear power plant failure which occurred in the Earthquake and Tsunami in 2011.

I manage to maintain my activity from my residential QTH in Niigata-prefecture. For me, DXing is not only for DXCC or IOTA credits. I enjoy working expeditions from geographically rare or ethnically exotic locations, and also stations in well-populated countries/areas. I like conventional modes, CW and SSB, as well as exchanging paper QSL cards in an old-fashioned way. Professionally, I am a research chemist, specializing in Synthetic Organic Chemistry, and work in the R&D section of a chemical industry.
