Shortwave Operating Assets, or KVPA, is a race with a long tradition. The plant was founded by Josef Seidl, OK1TJ already in 1990. The intention was to organize a regular monthly meeting (not only) of SCR members on the band, etc., the name was determined as KVPA = Krátko Vlný Provozní Aktiv. Josef was also the first evaluator. From 1991, the evaluation was carried out by Karel, OK1HCG, who took care of the race for 20 long years. This baton was taken over by Peter, OK2CQR. By 2021, KVPA, Shortwave operational asset, enters with new conditions.
