About me
Hi, my name is Rifet, and my friends
call me Rif.
1968 I have joined the Hamradio population. It all started in
the Radio Club "Radivoj Rodic –
YU4EBP“
in my birth place - Bosanski Petrovac ex
YU
now E7.
I was very active in the Radio Club, and in 1974 I got my
personal license and started using the call sign YU4CW. I used
it until 1990, when I stopped amateur radio work due to the very
complex situation in ex YU.
Now I live with family in Zagreb, Republic Croatia.
After a 27-year break I renewed my licence, and received my new
and current personal call sign
9A9CW.
I use some paddles, Solid state paddle made by felow
9A5N
first choice, Vibroplex Iambic Standard, and Vibro keyer
Standard 1965 (gift from fellow
9A2HF),
and now paddle
UR5CDX
- CT599MB wich second choice and for a Vibroplex is first
league.
My equipement consist of Kenwood TS-590SG, TS-480SAT, and
antennas OCF dipole for lower bands, Hex Beam which covers upper
bands + WARC bands. I also have CP-6 antenna (gift from my
fellow 9A3SM)
for portabe purpous btw for work a Vir island.
I practise my hobby from my home in Zagreb and from my summer
cottage on the Island of Vir (IOTA
EU-170, IOCA CI-141) only
during the summer season.
It is easy to find me on ham bands every day, during the year or
during the summer season.
As a second hobby I like to travel. I like to visit foreign
countries, city sightseeing, get to know cultural and historical
sights and of course take as much photos as possible all. Some
of them can be viewed in our litle famly photo album.

In 1968, I started a radio amateur course as a member of the Radivoj Rodić Radio Club YU4EBP in my hometown of Bosanski Petrovac.
