BIG CONGRATULATIONS STANDA.... Best regards 73, Chris SP7DCS ---------------------------- QSP by OK1DFC: Hi EME gang, I would like to inform you about one very nice achievement which reached Standa OK1MS in past days. As you know, Standa is EME 144 MHz CW only operator. Standa made first EME contact in year 1980 and this year he reached #1000 initial EME CW in July 2015. Short review of history. Standa OK1MS (ex OK1MBS) 1st QSO Dec. 1980 with WA1JXN (now W7GJ) 1000th QSO Jul. 2015 with R6CS Awards: WAC 144 MHz, WAS 144 MHz nr. #126, DXCC nr. # 14, WAZ nr. # 1 Total score only CW: 115 DXCC, WW-69, #1000 initials CW Equipment: Ant : 8 x 15 L.Y. , LNA : MGF 1801- 0.4 dB NF, PA : 4 x GI7B - 1.2 kW out, TRX all homemade units Standa OK1MS will be happy to know, how many other 144 MHz operators already reached 1000 initials by CW on 144 MHz. Standa expect that W5UN, W7GJ, VE7BQH or K8RQ already worked 1000 initials or more. Personally I think that it is serious great achievement and BIG CONGRATS to Standa.
