THE FIRST 20 YEARS
I got my first licence in early 1988, "perusluokka" finnish novice
class. Can't remember exact date, but it was before summer. I was accepted as
member of SRAL, Finnish Radio Amateur League, already 1987 during ham radio
course held by OH4AB. I try to make more ham radio activity this special year.
See you on the bands!
