There will be a longer post about impressions from Armenia when I return to Serbia.

For now, I would just like to thank from the bottom of my heart Narek EK6ONL and his friends who made this trip one of the best ever, feel like I'm at home, and even more than that.

We successfully did ATNO POTA activation as EK0W, and we were also QRV from Yerevan radio club EK8A.

On this trip, Antreas 5B4AQA joined me. The journey for me doesn't end here, more precisely, today Antreas and I have a flight to Cyprus, and I will spend the next 5 days there. During that time, we plan to be QRV from different parks every day, maybe even tonight 🇨🇾

I rarely do this — I don’t usually go back and write about the past. But 2025 was so incredible for me that I want to leave a trace of it.

Maybe I wasn’t as active on social media as before, but I was more present in real life than ever — fully aware of each moment and the passage of time.

This year was a year of growth, self-awareness, learning, and deeply instructive life lessons. A year of stepping out of my comfort zone in absolutely every sense.

I’m grateful that I spent nearly a quarter of the year traveling, visiting 19 countries in total.

And what I cherish the most is that this year brought me so many amazing friendships, for which I will be forever thankful.

Thank you as well to all of you who are still here with me — thank you for every QSO during contests and every POTA activation.

I have many plans for the coming year, but step by step, while enjoying every moment and the entire process.

Happy New Year 2026 to everyone, from the bottom of my heart. I sincerely wish you good health — because with that, you can achieve everything else on your own. Stay open to new experiences in life!
