My friends calling me Neno. I am on air from September 2004. Previous call 9A5ANR.

At home, I am working with YAESU FT-2000, Fritzel windom FD-4 and DXE hexbeam. For portable work I am using FT-897D and homemade trap dipole for 20 and 40m.

During summer vacation I am active like 9A5AN/P from Croatian islands, islets and rocks for award.

As you can see on photo's, during islet and rock activation I am working on battery supply, sitting on rocks near sea and I should make short QSO’s only. Thanks for help to all whom spot me in cluster during IOCA activation.

Information about programme you can find on http://ioca.hamradio.hr.

QSL info:

Check QSO's with me on http://www.clublog.org/logsearch/9A5AN/P . Use Online QSL request to speed up QSL exchange!

If some QSO is not in log send me e-mail. Mistakes during rewriting portable paper logs in electronic log are always possible.

For my portable work I will not send QSL cards in advance like before (year 2005 and 2006) because lot of cards return back – “Not member”, “Station does not use the QSL service”, “No accept QSL” etc. but on every received QSL card (bureau/direct) or e-mail request I will replay! Thanks for understanding!

Stations from OM: QSL via OM5MF

Notice for SWL:

Please list at least two and preferably three QSO's heard if you want I will replay on your QSL card for 9A5AN/P. Some SWL cheating and take calls from DX cluster.

If my QSL card didn't came to you after few months please send me e-mail!

QSL direct:

Dear YL/OM, for direct replay please send SAE and 2$ or 1IRC. In the moment postage is 7.1kn = 1€ = 1,5$. Direct received without return postage I will replay via bureau.

SV9/9A5AN - 11.3.-3.4.2008. I will replay to all QSL received. e-mail QSL request is the best way.
