Special event stations R50YG and R50SK are QRV from Baikonur until April 14 in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first flight of Yuri Gagarin. This includes an entry in the Gagarin Cup contest. In addition, special call R50KEDR will be QRV on April 12 from 0507 to 0655z to commemorate the 108 minutes of Gagarin's first flight. QSL via operators' instructions. 73, John G7HIA Hi John G7HIA Just for curiosity. Was Yury Gagarin a licensed radio Ham and what his call letter ? Anybody had a QSO with him ? 73" de i8CVS Domenico _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
