Year 2022
In early 1986, Banja Luka had two computer clubs with around 100 members combined: the "Banjaluka" Computer Club in Borik and the Radio klub Nikola Tesla section at Paskulina ciglana, which owned three ZX Spectrums with 16 KB of RAM.
Radio klub Nikola Tesla has invited all members to its Annual General Assembly. Non-members may also attend the session, but they do not have the right to vote.
The club took part in the CQ World Wide VHF Contest on the 50MHz band on 16–17 July, operating from Planinarski Dom Šibovi - P. D. Kozara at about 350m elevation. Poor propagation limited contacts on CW and SSB, though FT8 brought more success, and new members joined to see contesting firsthand.
A DMR MMDVM UHF repeater has been installed at Šibovi, a local elevation about 330 m above sea level outside the city, to improve coverage of the wider city core. It operates on Tx 438.275 MHz and Rx 430.675 MHz.
Radio klub Nikola Tesla presented its activities to citizens in Banja Luka during the City Day celebration, with support from the City of Banja Luka. The club highlighted amateur radio's role in modern times and the RMZO (RadioMrežaZaOpasnost) project for emergency communications when networks fail.
Radio amateurs took advantage of good weather for a portable SOTA activation at Lipovac, one of 646 summits in the country. The program encourages portable operation and time outdoors, with awards for activators and hunters.
