| Biography My adventure with radio started in the early 1990s when me and my friend used the ECHO4 walkie- talkie in our backyard. At the same time CB radio was gaining a huge popularity in Poland due to problems with telephone lines availability. Then in 1995 my friend’s dad bought a CB Radio in order to have a contact between a car and his QTH. Right after he put a 5/8 wave antenna on his home roof, me and my friend got a chance to listen to local stations from the CB band. It was my late Grandmother who bought me my first Cobra19 CB radio. She could easily see how fascinated I was with everything related to this subject. I soon started modifying devices myself and in 1996 my adventure with DX connections had begun with SuperStar radio. Then came the era of mobile phones and internet and I gave up this hobby. In 2006 I again started using CB radio in my car and I also used PMR for mountain and bike trips. When searching through radio forums for information about recommended PMR devices, I found out about a possibility of taking an exam in Office of Electronic Communications. I passed the exam for an amateur radio license in July 2007 and this is how I made it to a ham radio club. Due to the fact I am a professional photographer I received the SQ5NPS callsign which refers to Nikon Professional Service. In 2015 I’ve changed the callsign into SQ5AM referring to my initials.
