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
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?
