7Z1DX - First QSO on VHF

Today marked a major milestone in my amateur radio journey. I logged my very VHF QSO.

Operating from HZ1IO station in Damma Saudi Arabia, I successfully connected with A92AE in Bahrain.

Visiting HZ1IO & HZ1IX

This evening, I had the honor of visiting our new fellow amateur radio hobbyists in Dammam, my brothers Nawaf Aldoseri HZ1IO and Ibrahim Aldoseri HZ1IX.

It was an outstanding visit, filled with a brotherly spirit and enjoyable radio conversations. Wishing them continuous success and a blessed, prosperous beginning on the airwaves.

I am pleased to announce that the design process of 7Z1DX is officially complete.

This project was more than just a creative exercise, it was about building a visual legacy for a unique milestone in regional amateur radio history—marking the first Bahraini to hold a Saudi callsign.

I am incredibly proud to share a major new milestone in my amateur radio journey. On June 10, 2026, I sat for the official Saudi Amateur Radio License examination. After weeks of preparation and hitting the books, I passed the exam with a score of 83.1%.

The regulatory process moved swiftly, and today, June 19, 2026, the Communications, Space and Technology Commission (CST) officially issued my new Saudi license. Moving forward, I will be operating under the callsign: 7Z1DX.

A Historic Milestone

Beyond the personal achievement, this license carries a special significance: I am deeply honored to become the first Bahraini to hold an official Saudi amateur radio callsign.

Expanding Horizons in the Kingdom

7Z1DX represents a major gateway for upcoming operating technical radio projects. Having official operating privileges in Saudi Arabia opens up incredible opportunities for field operations and specialized technical operations across the Kingdom’s unique geography.
