Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Antonio Ribeiro da Motta, who shares the following recordings and notes:
In 1980 I participated in the AWR Asia DX Contest promoted by the Radio Monitors International program produced by Mr. Adrian Petersen. The program was produced at the AWR Asia studios in Poona (India) and broadcast through the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Company via transmitters in Ekala and Colombo. Despite the reception being very difficult in South America, I managed to participate in the contest and got eighth place. As a prize, I got a cassette called AWR Historical. And it is this material that I would like to share with my friends at Shortwave Archive.
We are pleased to announce that Mike Franklin, G3VYI will be the new RSGB Trophy Manager. He will focus on the Contest Trophy collection and RSGB HQ will now manage the AGM Trophies.

LU7EPT Ana Paula Tessi, activates 11 Argentinian Mountain Peaks
by Carlos Almirón LU7DSY 20 April 2024
Ana Paula Tessi (LU7EPT) in June, 2024 will celebrate three years in the world of amateur radio. She overflows with enthusiasm when she talks about radio and wishes she’d found the activity sooner.
She joined the Radio Club San Nicolás LU1EY, where she did the radio course and, shortly after receiving her license, she began with an experienced group to activate SOTA (Summits on the Air). By the time she completed her first year she had activated six summits.
After confirming the last four activations, Ana Paula felt the need to share her experiences and thank those who helped her.
“…… I needed to prove to myself that training was worth it. My face hurt from smiling so much and my belly from laughing about her experiences ………….”
“………… Activations involved Team work: My route partner LU3DPW Pablo; LU9MZO Diego, the sherpa that pushed us to the limits. I cannot stop thanking LU5YEC Mauricio for my antenna that makes me love the 2 meter band more every day ……..”
“……… Thanks also to Radio Club LU1EY, de San Nicolás de los Arroyos (B A) and the many radio fans who supported us ……………..”
