9A9B BIOGRAPHY


H A M R A D I O

My name is Branimir, call sign 9A9B.
I live in Zagreb, capital of Croatia.
I have been a Radio Amateur since April 1972, when I was 16 years old and when I got my licence.
Most of the time my activity and interest has been on 144 MHz, working with different kind of propagations like tropo, E-sporadic, Satellite, Meteor Scatter and EME.
From time to time I have also been active on the 432 MHz and short-wave bands (especially with RTTY and SSTV).
Also, my special kind of interest has been electronic design/construction of various electronic equipments (you can see some on my Website)
In my country I am especially known for my Packet-radio contact with Space Shuttle - Discovery (the only one from Croatia; 1994; see Discovery QSL cardon my Website) and for being the first participant from independent Croatia (with new prefix 9A) in a couple of WorldWide EME Contests during 1993 (9A2MK my ex callsign).
Today my main interest is CW EME random on 144 MHz. For more details please visit my EME Website.
