A tribute to Stanislav Zelenov UA3VBW

This is the radio story of Stanislav Zelenov UA3VBW, written by Vyacheslav Yudenich and published on the website of Vladimir Akminskij RW3VA http://rw3va.qrz.ru/index.html
Many thanks to Vladimir RW3VA for allowing me to translate the story into english and publish some of his photos on my website.

UA3VBW 1991 in Belgium at IARU HST championships

Stanislav Zelenov was born on June 20th 1949 in the city of Vladimir in Russia. His start into radiosports began in 1965 at local radio transmission and reception competitions in Kazan. In 1967 at the 4. Spartakiad of the USSR, the youngster he was very successful and wun the bronce medal.
For many years Stanislav has been the undisputed champion and telegraphy record holder of the USSR and received many titles, awards and trophies.

Here are some of his many titles:

27x World champion of highspeed radiotelegraphy;
17x European champion;
16x USSR champion;
16x champion of Russia;
30x champion of the Armed Forces;
19x Rocket Troops champion;
30x multiple winner of the international competitions "Danube Cup" and "for friendship and brotherhood";

The first and only honored master of Sports of the USSR in highspeed radiotelegraphy;
Holder of the medal "For Labor Distinction" and the badge of the Central Committee of the Komsomol "Sports Valor";
19 personalized awards from the Ministry of Defense of the USSR and Russia;
A large number of certificates of honor of the state sports committee and the Russian Olympic committee.
As a coach, he brought the Russian youth team to the first place in the USSR Championship and prepared three world champions.

His mother Elena Pavlovna-(Zelenova), an factory-employee raised her son alone. At the age of fifteen years, the student of Vladimir school number 6 became an orphan. After school, he began to study radio engineering and continued to improve his knowledge during the military service in the Central Communications Center of the Missile Forces. Because he was not invited to stay at the Center at the end of his service, he returned to Vladimir-City. There he started working at the army sports club and the sports faculty of the Vladimir Pedagogical Institute. After the many political changes in the 1990s, a difficult time began for Stanislav. All that he achieved suddenly didn't matter much anymore, he faced many problems and got very sick. Unfortunately, even his long-time friends don't know where he is at the moment. Stanislav was allways member of the radio clubs UK3VAA, UA3KSM and RK3VWA. I, who got to know him as a warm, helpful person, hope that he lives somewhere in a good place and can enjoy his life.

Mount Mc Elroy

A mountain named after a telegraphy world champion!

Arctic Conquest Mount McElroy is a mountain at the west end of the Hutton Mountains, in southeastern Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was discovered and named by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in 1947/48 led by Finn Ronne. The details of the expedition were published by Putnam’s Sons publishing house of New York in 1949. Ronne named the mountain for Theodore Roosevelt McElroy, who contributed the communication instruments for the expedition. "Ted" McElroy (1901 - 1963), was the World Champion Radio Telegrapher in the 1920´s and was recognized in the Guiness Book of World Record with the "Morse Highspeed Telegraphy World Record" in 1939.

Гора Мак-Элрой, Гора названа в честь чемпиона мира по телеграфии!
Арктическое завоевание Гора МакЭлрой - гора в западном конце гор Хаттон, на юго-востоке Земли Палмера в Антарктиде. Он был обнаружен и назван Антарктической исследовательской экспедицией Ронне в 1947/48 году под руководством Финна Ронне. Подробности экспедиции были опубликованы нью-йоркским издательством Putnam’s Sons в 1949 году. Ронн назвал гору в честь Теодора Рузвельта Макэлроя, который предоставил средства связи для экспедиции. «Тед» Мак Элрой, живший с 1901 по 1963 год, был чемпионом мира по радиотелеграфу в 1921 году и был внесен в Книгу рекордов Гиннеса с «Мировым рекордом телеграфии Морзе в 1939 году».

Mount McElroy, ein Berg benannt nach einem Weltmeister der Morsetelegrafie!
Arctic Conquest Mount McElroy ist ein Berg am westlichen Ende der Hutton Mountains im südöstlichen Palmer Land in der Antarktis. Er wurde 1947 von der Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition unter der Leitung von Finn Ronne entdeckt und benannt. Die Details der Expedition wurden 1949 im New Yorker Verlag Putnam's und Söhne veröffentlicht. Ronne benannte den Berg nach Theodore Roosevelt McElroy, der Funkgeräte für die Expedition beisteuerte. "Ted" Mc Elroy (1901 - 1963) war in den 1920er Jahren Weltmeister im Hochgeschwindigkeitsmorsen und wurde 1939 als schnellster Morsetelegrafist ins Guiness Buch der Rekorde aufgenommen.

CW Morse training with SOTA chaser callsigns

Want to improve your CW skills?

To simulate the conditions in a SOTA pile-up, HB9DQM wrote a nice script that picks callsigns from the 2019 SOTA* activators honour roll at random, choosing them in relation to their “Activators Worked” ranking. The idea is to hear frequent chasers more often while practicing, as in a real pile-up. It is a good idea and change to the commen used "highspeed"-software like Rufz-XP or Morse runner. Note that you need a modern browser (HTML5) for the audio player to work.

https://neon1.net/sota/cwtraining.php

*SOTA means "Summits On The Air" and is an award programm which supports amateur radio activity from mountains. https://www.sota.org.uk/
