SD9V

Posted on 2021-05-21 by SM0IMJ

I will use this callsign in contest (and some DX) to celebrate my way back from years of QRT. The QRT was forced to me from a series of strokes (2015/2016) that limited my possibilities to work CW (my only mode). If you have similar experience, feel free to contact me and we can exchange experience and some tips/tricks on how to recover from a stroke.

The prefix SD is short for Semper Deinceps, latin for Always Forward.
This describes that the only way for me is forward, to amateur radio as it once was for me.
The suffix V is short for Victory and describes that “I will be victorious over my strokes”.

See you in contest…
Semper Deinceps
