One year experience of dc H{sup -} source operation at 2 MeV tandem accelerator is described. The source delivers H{sup -} ion beams with controlled current in the range of 1-8 mA and energy up to 25 keV. Normalized 1 rms emittance for 8 mA beam is less than 0.2{pi} mm mrad. Negative ions are produced on the cesiated anode of the Penning discharge, driven by plasma injection from the hollow cathode inserts.
