From a young age I was engaged in sports, mostly technical types. The greatest results I achieved in motorcycle racing. I participated in the national championships and international competitions. But one day I was unlucky ..... and doctors banned me from doing motocross. But the soul demanded adrenaline. As that time I went to the club radio station during the competition. The guys sat me down for the transceiver and I felt the same tension and adrenaline rush as in motocross during a dangerous turn. Since then, I became a radio amateur, although I hardly distinguished the transistor from the resistor. My first callsign UA9UJO I received in 1978. Later, for various reasons associated with the upgrade of the category and moving, I had to change callsigns to UW9UP, RW9UP, UA9PC and now RC9O. I am grateful to the fate that she brought me with the one of the best operator of the country Mikhail Klokov UA9PM. He instilled in me love to be a contestman, he taught me many subtleties and technical knowledge on the development of radio engineering and the construction of antennas. For over 20 years we have been a united team and together we have created a super station on the shore of our Siberian Sea in Novosibirsk. And now he is my teammate.
