Youth of the Month January 2016
Meet Stefania K1GJY:
"My name is Stefania, K1GJY and I was born in Romania. In my family I had my dad, YO9FNR (now SK) who was into HF/ VHF and tried to pass this hobby on to me. Well, he succeeded because in 1995 I got the YO9GJY callsign. After a few months I fell in love with contesting and talking to people from far away. That's how my DX passion started. At the age of 11 I already had over 50 confirmed DXCC's (and that was a lot to me, considering I had a HM A412 and 80W into a Delta Loop for 80-40). 20 years after that I left Romania while having 290 confirmed DXCC's (and mom says the QSL cards keep coming, hi!). A year ago I got my (General) K1GJY call sign and since I came back for good I keep chasing new ones (there are over 340 new ones for me now...so its taking it from zero..) It takes patience and a good propagation. For me, being a YL (and lately a XYL), it'll be so much easier though - my husband is KB1HNZ himself! :-)"

KP4/Palmas
Image removed by sender.
We are happy to announce the first Caribbean site is now on the RHR network. The KP4 site will be placed in the RemoteDX portal for all the RHR members to enjoy the thrill of Caribbean operating.
KP4/Palmas is well equipped with an Elecraft K3, KPA-500, F-12 C31XR @ 60', F-12 2EL 40M @ 70' and wires for the low bands. To operate this station you are required to sign KP4/(your-call).
We recommend that you use the built-in RHR logger to track your QSO's, additionally the logger will upload all your QSO to LOTW automatically for you using your .p12 certificate.
We expect KP4 to be very popular on the network for contesting and If you plan on contesting we recommend that you use N1MM with the RHR helper app.
If you are planning to log your contacts via the built in console logger, be sure to request a KP4/YOURCALL certificate using the TQSL application.
We take legal and ethical operating serious here at RHR, anyone violating rules on KP4 or any RHR site will be subject to removal.
Here is KP4/W2RE stats on LOTW while using the RHR logger since October 2015. Ray has 281 contacts with 130 confirmed on LOTW with 26 DXCC playing around. Why not start a new DXCC from KP4?
