Below there is the message from Petrica Stolnicu, the head of Radiostiinta Association, the guy that directed me to enter in the HAM radio world. 🙂
This is an event that we did last year.
“Today, the Radioștiința Association celebrates the achievements of the members who founded an absolutely wonderful youth team (YR0K). They have accomplished something extraordinary:
A ROMANIAN RECORD in the 2025 edition of the WORLD-WIDE DX CONTEST SSB radio amateur competition — https://cqww.com/records.htm
YO3LMP, YO3AIF, YO3MPL, and YO9RYI, we are incredibly proud of you! You have put your names on the map of high performance and become a source of inspiration for many other children dreaming of reaching great heights. Congratulations to you, to your coach (YO9RIJ), and to everyone who has stood by you and continues to support you!
Behind this result lie hours of hard work, determination, emotions, and a sincere desire to improve day by day. Every effort made a difference, and together you formed a team that defines excellence. You are proof that when you believe in yourself and your team, the results become memorable.
The future of amateur radio in Romania sounds incredibly bright with winners like you!
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all those who, discreetly and generously, support our actions to develop the amateur radio hobby in Romania.
Together, we move forward!
