• Special mention goes to those who worked our station from distant corners of the globe. The reports from Australia, the communications while on /MM in the vast seas – all exemplify the power of radio waves to transcend geographical boundaries. These interactions enrich our understanding of the capabilities of amateur radio and serve as a testament to the global fraternity that we are a part of.

• A heartfelt salute goes to Victor 4S7VK for his exemplary leadership that set the tone for 4S7LGT 2023. His unwavering commitment and passion not only steered the event to success but also served as a beacon of inspiration for young hams. With his dedication and pioneering spirit, Victor has undoubtedly become a true idol, demonstrating the heights that can be achieved in the world of amateur radio.

The event was marked by a wonderful camaraderie, a true embodiment of the spirit of amateur radio. We were thrilled to witness young hams like Nadila and Nayana, and to see them inspire SWL friends to take their journey into ham radio. The enthusiasm and dedication exhibited by everyone, especially the SWLs, was heartwarming.

The magic of the event was amplified as we watched SWLs making contacts into countries like Australia, USA, Panama, and the Caribbean, all with a simple dipole just 10 feet off the ground. It’s a testament to the power of the ham radio community and the endless possibilities it presents.

Thank you all for your contributions, your passion, and your unending support. It was an honor to be part of such an incredible event, and we’re already looking forward to the next gathering.

Until we meet again, keep the waves alive!
