Radio amateur gains first WAZS 1000 award

During the past month, Jan Botha, ZS4JAN, made a a little bit of amateur radio history by achieving the SARL's WAZS 1000 award.

It means that Jan made 1,000 confirmed contacts with individual call signs in South Africa. It took Jan almost 6 years to reach this milestone.

What makes this achievement more unique is the fact that Jan is the first radio amateur to gain the WAZS 1000 award.

The President of the SARL congratulates Jan with this unique achievement and trusts that that it will be an inspiration to other radio amateurs to be more active on the bands and to regularly confirm contacts by means of either a QSL card or the SARL's electronic QSL system.

Again, many congratulations to Jan.
