Advanced equipment to the radio lovers of Armenia
VivaCell-MTS supports the development of one of the most original
sports in Armenia
VivaCell-MTS, a subsidiary of `Mobile TeleSystems' OJSC, announces
that the Radio Sport Federation of Armenia received new professional
equipment. Particularly, the federation got 4 shortwave and 9 super
shortwave radio stations, measurement device for antennae, amplifiers,
and additional accessories.
Radio sport is a unique hobby, with a huge number of people around the
world involved in it.
Amateur radio direction finding (ARDF, also known as radio
orienteering and radiosport) is an amateur racing sport that combines
radio direction finding with the map and compass skills of
orienteering. It has been most popular in Eastern Europe, Russia, and
China, where it was often used in the physical education programs in
schools. This sporting activity does not only help promote
intercultural exchange but also has an important role in the
mobilization and coordination of rescue activities in the emergency
situations.
After 1988 Spitak Earthquake, the radio sport found very important
application in Gyumri which suffered the most after the disaster: the
town could establish connection from the ruined town, which was in
complete isolation from the outer world.
`One shouldn't overlook amateur initiatives, grounded on the desire to
be useful to others. This sport is one such kind of activity:
intercultural exchange, desire to communicate with the society, and
most importantly, an alternative means to inform the society and
prevent panic in emergency situations. It is necessary to encourage
the sporting activities supported by dedicated people with a hope that
the Armenian team of radiosport will have new victories in the
future', said VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian.
Paying particular importance to this sport, VivaCell-MTS stretched
hand to the radio lovers of Armenia also in 2008 by supporting with
AMD 4 million for the acquisition of necessary equipment. The result
was that the Radio Sport Federation of Armenia won prestigious places
in 5 international competitions.
We hope the continuous support to the Radio Sport Federation of
Armenia will help enhance its capabilities even further.
