I was started in a HAM-radio in 1959 on the club station
UA2KAP (Chernjakhovsk city, Kaliningrad district). The first
own callsign was UA2ACS and then UA2CS (since 1966).
Since 1974 as a UR2RGM (Tallinn,
Estonia). During the Moscow's Olympic Games in 1980 from 1st of
January to 03 of August has been used a special callsign
RU2RGM.
The callsign ES1RF -
since 1990. And starting from 2006 I using also
callsign ES3RF,
but ES1RF is also valid.
I am a member of
Estonian Radio Amateur
Union (ERAU). National
qualification class "A", CEPT License class "1".
ERAÜ is the only officially recognized amateur radio organization
representing and uniting radio amateurs in Estonia. ERAÜ members
can have actual impact on the development of amateur radio as a
hobby in the country, its regulations and legislation in the field
of communication etc. Hence, only membership guarantees a HAM in
Estonia an actual participation in the hobby and a status of real
and active radio amateur.
The
prefix ES in Estonia was introduced since January 1st,
1929.
On March 1st 1935 the Estonian Radio Amateurs’
Union (ERAU)
was officially registered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs as
an organization uniting amateur radio activity of the country.
This fact marks the
“official birth” of the organized amateur radio in
Estonia. On January 1st 1938 ERAU became a member of IARU.
The territory of Estonia has divided on
to 9 radio amateurs districts:
(ES0, ES1- ES8).The
ERAU
HQ using special
callsigns
ES9A, ES9C.
