My age is 51, a ham since 1971.
I was born in a small town in western Lithuania, called Silute, back in July 1954. First time I have discovered HAM RADIO in 1971, when started my studies of radio electronics in Kaunas Technical University
In 1975-1988 I had a pleasure to operate the famous club station
in Siauliai - UK2BAS. As a result of administrative and political changes in Lithuania - this club station afterwards became UP1BZZ, and finally - LY2ZZ
I keep licence of my other call - AB4UW (since 1990, Extra class).
During years I had a chance to be on the air as : UK2PAF, UK2PCR, UK2PAD, UK2BAS, UP1BZZ, UK2BAS/U6G, U2PSN, UP4A, UP7A, UP8A, UP9A, EO2PPP, R2PZ, RG6A, RG6G, UP1BWR, LY2ZZ, LY2WR, LY2FED, LY1FCR. Other personal calls in the past were LY2BIG and LY4AR
Has been almost completelly QRT during 1990-2002, but now QRV on the air again, mainly QRP, PSK31, CW & echolink. Sometimes I QRV again in a major WW contests from LY5A: http://public.fotki.com/ly2big/cq_cq_ham_radio/cqww_rtty_ly5a/
