In loving memory

YC1BRN SK

My late father, YC1BRN, is the reason this station is on the air. His call sign is silent now, but his love for radio carries on in every contact we make from this shack.

His love for radio began as a student at STM Budhaya in Jakarta. A school practical — building an FM transmitter with vacuum tubes — sparked a joy that turned into a lifelong hobby.

Before long he was building his own transmitter at home, quietly broadcasting songs late at night without a licence. Over the years that passion became more focused, and official: he was licensed as YD0WWC, became YD1BRN after moving to Bekasi, West Java, and finally YC1BRN — the call sign he held until the end of his life.
