9H5QB Malta Amateur Radio

Hi All,  I've just returned to live in Malta where I was born in 1950, having recently retired as a Railway Signalling & Telecoms Engineer working in Australia and the UK.  I have a UK licence with callsign M6BGZ and hope to obtain a Maltese license in due course. Although my UK licence is at an 'entry level' I have been professionally involved in radio engineering for much of my life, eight years of it being in the Royal Navy's Electrical Branch (Radio & Radar Division). I have the appropriate form to apply for the license, but fear that a UK fundamental license will not be sufficient to obtain a Maltese license, but I see that MARL provides all training necessary. I will contact MARL again when my equipment arrives as advice on suitable rooftop HF aerials would be much appreciated, especially on how a may use the 30' flagpole on my roof here in Ghaxaq!

Many thanks for the short-QSO on 14MHz, which was "killed" by QSO at the end ! Many 73 here from the eifel-/ardennen-area near LX/ON !

thans for the nice short mobile qso from Baden Baden highway A5 to Malta  vy 73 fred

Hello Thor!

What a pleasant surprise, I was not expecting you leaving a comment. Thank you so much for the kind words and most enjoyable QSO. Looking forward to our next chat, where we must discuss ESSB further, I adore that section of Amateur Radio! Hope to meet you soon on the bands....I have setup my rack now, so....73 and take care de Mario 9H5QB

Hi Mario,
thanks a lot for the nice and interesting QSO. We must speak next time more about ESSB. It was really interesting to exchange setups and experiences about our Audio Equipment.  Regards and see u on the bands
