Congratulations to Jim Kearman- Cuba DX Centurian Award
|
Hello All,
Jim Kearman of Florida has become the first ULR-DXer to qualify for the
Cuba DX Centurian Award (Unlimited Class), for his success in logging at least
100 Cuban stations on an Ultralight radio. Having so many nearby Cubans is
perhaps a mixed blessing, but Rob Ross and I certainly wish to congratulate
Jim on his patience in logging them, and wish him success in his future
DXing.
73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA)
An extensive group of awards certificates
is available from the Ultralight MW DXing Awards Committee. Each recipient
receives a digital file which may be used for electronic display or is suitable
for framing when printed at 8 12" x 11" on good quality paper. Information on
the Awards Program and the simple application procedures are found in the
Downloads>Ultralight Files>General Information area of dxer.ca and our own
file area here at ultralightdx. Applications go directly to Rob Ross

Thanks again to Gary and Rob, and a tip of the hat to John Bryant. I started on this quest the day John announced the Centurian. I'm sorry he couldn't be here to issue the certificate.

Way to go, Jim. You're definitely the first ULR enthusiast to nail that many Cubans. Like many of us who knew John personally, we feel the same about John not being here. Good luck on your Operation Python.

Jim:
Congratulations. I wonder where the Castro brothers find space on the island for so many stations? I'm always amazed I can to hear signals from Cuba here every night. I can't imagine what it would be like living in Florida. Sort of like being next to Texas is here! Good DX. Richard. Richard Allen 36°22'51"n / 97°26'35"W (near Perry OK USA) |

I'm always amazed I can to hear signals from Cuba here every night. I can't imagine what it would be like living in Florida. Sort of like being next to Texas is here! Thanks, Richard. From the southeast part of the state I've been able to log almost 140 Florida stations. Sixty-percent of my ULR total comes from Cuba and Florida. I try to hear stuff farther away -- really! Never can I say "there's nothing on the radio." I suppose the Cuban govt tries to cover the band, so their citizens listen to stuff they approve, and nothing else. The programming is generally bland. If I lived there I think I'd be making super-loops and sneaking down to the beach at night. 73, Jim, KR1S http://kr1s.kearman.com/ |
