It's now almost 10 years since we started this financial support project for Vlad, 4K9W, to ensure he can stay at his home with a 24/7 care taker which allows him to keep working on air.
Many generous amateur radio operators around the world helped us to get that far - this is real ham spirit and I never thought it would be possible for such a periode of time.
The last few years we had only a dozen regular supporters and there support covers about 1/3 of the monthly needed money for the care taker. Everything else was covered by support received and saved in the years before. So actually we are now at a point that this project would very like to receive some more support from the ham community - no matter if regulary (the best way) or by one time donations.
As it's a monthly payment for Vlads care taker Vera (she's still doing the job since started almost 10 years ago) it sums up to a "good amount" per year.
Vlad is now 65 years old and keeps working on the bands if conditions permit.
This year he's additionally active with a special call sign 4K100W together with other ham radio operators from Azerbaijan to commemorate 100 years of Azerbaijan Republic.
Sure his operation with 100 watts and his 84m long wire depends much on the condx and we hope they'll improve now that the summer is almost gone.
If you consider to help us with this project you can use PayPal to dl6kva@darc.de for one time support or contact me per email to the same address for regular support arrangements if that would save PayPal costs.
Many thanks for helping to keep this project going!
