Rules:
More than ninety years ago, the development of amateur radio communication occurred in Silesia. The first effects were
recorded in Bielsko-Biała and pioneered by Tadeusz Matusiak TPTM (later TPXA). When he was 14 years old, he built
a ham station in 1926 and made the first two-way QSO in Silesia, confirmed by a QSL card, with a Swedish amateur
SMUA from Goeteborg on 16 November 1927. This year, we want to honour the Anniversary of the origin of amateur
radio movement in Upper Silesia.
