Stavropol Russia


I found RT6T in Stavropol Russia this morning at 5,804 miles. This city is the home of Mikhail Gorbachev.  A brilliant man, he led Russia into a more democratic and open society. Many of his reforms were not well liked; but he moved Russia into the modern age. He was the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990.



I also worked E77DX in Bosnia and Herzegovia and HB9CVQ in Switzerland.

    Hello Jim,

    I enjoy looking up information about the places I work also. I think it's one of the fun things about the hobby. It's a BIG world out there!

    I agree with Jim. I very much enjoy reading as I learn lots of new stuff about the places you managed to add to your logbook!
