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 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.
 
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.

Much more useful  information, including ES-Callbook, awards and CEPT in Estonia you can find on official Estonian Radio Amateur Union (ERAU)

Usually, from the middle of April to the end of October I move my activity from Tallinn to the country house.   It is situated in Raplamaa, just 18 kilometers from my residence place in Tallinn.
The QRA-locator of this place is KO29IF.  The callsign I'm using there is ES1RF/3.

Hope to meet you in the air!
