29AT038 Tim: The Warm Voice of Ireland, Radio, and Guinness 🇮🇪🍻📡

If there is an operator capable of bringing a breath of joy and the charm of Irish landscapes directly into our radios, it is undoubtedly Tim, 29AT038. From the beautiful setting of Kenmare, County Kerry, Tim has become a cornerstone of the World Beauties Award (WBA), standing out not only for his technical skill but for his extraordinary warmth.

A Steady Presence: From SBA 2024 to the Present 📈🗓️

Tim is no newcomer to the hunt. His loyalty to our circuit has deep roots: he has been a fixed and constant presence since the early days of SBA 2024. Since then, he has never stopped chasing the world’s beauties through the airwaves, collecting references with enviable precision.

His activity is documented by an extensive log (available on sbota.org), showing him as a protagonist in nearly all significant activations. Whether propagation is booming or challenging, the signal of Division 29 from Kenmare always finds its way into the log. 🎯⚡

A “Cheers” That Unites Us All 🍺🍀

What makes every QSO with Tim special is more than just a signal report. All activators know and appreciate his unmistakable warm voice, capable of conveying calmness even in the most chaotic pile-up.

But Tim’s true “trademark” is the inevitable final ritual: the radio exchange of a virtual toast with a nice pint of Guinness! 🍻 This moment of lightheartedness and friendship transforms a simple technical contact into an encounter between friends, reminding us that radio is, above all, about connection and fun.

The Charm of Kenmare On-Air 🏘️🌊

Operating from the western edge of Europe isn’t always easy, but Tim manages his station with the mastery of an Alfa Tango veteran. His station in Kenmare is a window to the world, a bridge joining the green hills of Ireland with the coasts of Sardinia and monuments across Europe.

For Tim, the WBA is the perfect opportunity to combine a love for history and culture with the technical challenge of the 11-meter band. His fairness and operating style are a perfect example of “Ham Spirit.”

Conclusion 🌟

Tim, 29AT038, is the “green” soul of our award. A relentless Hunter, a true friend, and a lover of good company. Thank you, Tim, for your consistency and for those toasts that make us all feel a little closer, despite the miles between us.

Sláinte, Tim! We look forward to seeing you in the next pile-up, ready to uncork another reference together! 🎙️💙
