New QSO/hour record was set up in the last CQ WW SSB Contest 2010 by Vladislav Sitnikov, UU5MAF, operated at RC0F.

Vladislav managed to score 322 QSO during one hour!!! Soon, his result will placed in ‘the best QSO rates in Contests’ table at http://www.qsl.net/oh1noa/rates.htm

Vladislav is the only contester from Russia and Ukraine to achieve such a high score. Also, in this contest Vladislav claimed for new 19 Zone record. Once again, I’d like to mention that this result was scored from the Sakhalin Island, and it will be the only result from Asia.

Vladislav operated from Gennady, R0FA, ex UA0FAI station, with quite a simple setup. 4 elements SteppIR, Optibeam 4030, FT2000 and Acom 2000 PA.

Well done Vladimir!!

I was born in the 1960’s and have lived all my life in the Coal Mining Town of Barnsley in South Yorkshire, Northern England. My parents were all from this area of Yorkshire and my father worked in the main Industry of the local Collieries as a face worker. I have been married to my wife Debbie for 35+ years and we have two children and two grandchildren.

I have been licensed for around 20 years after my interest was re-kindled when I retired from my role as a Police Officer within South Yorkshire Police Force. The latter few years were spent as Radio Operator in the Force Operations Control Room at Sheffield, before my career ended.

IOTA chasing is (and always has been) my real passion, as climbing the ladder to reach Honour Roll status was always my main aim. The 1000 Islands Trophy is still out of reach but I am heading in the right direction. I am currently a Board Member of IOTA Ltd and IREF.

In my free time I am a keen Photographer of Wildlife, Aviation, (anything really) but the QSL Manager role is my main passion within Ham Radio.
