Edi Meister, YU9XMC/HB9CKF has informed us that he has decided to stop operating on shortwave after his ELAD FDM-DUO radio broke down after 10 years. Other reasons for this are that it is becoming increasingly tiring for him to be on 14317 kHz qrv all day long, the flooding of the bands by inexperienced amateurs and his age of 78, which is prompting him to take a step back. However, he is in good health!

Although many OMs wanted to offer him support, the strict import regulations in Serbia are an obstacle. Electronics can only be imported by licensed dealers, which makes it almost impossible to receive parcels containing technology. Repairs are also not feasible due to the lack of services for amateur radio equipment. The author emphasises that no parcels should be sent to him and refers to alternative communication options. In addition to his website below, these are WhatsApp, Viber (mobile phone number available from us or from him by email) and, by arrangement (sked), Echolink or his BBB channel:
