Borcelik Amateur Radio Club - YM3VBR
Ata Mh. 125 Nolu Sk. No.1, Gemlik
Bursa 16600 TÜRKIYE
Hallo liebe Freunde in Bursa, dear friends in Bursa,
I am very pleased to receive the diploma number 001 for making 5
contacts
with your
friendly clubstation YM3VBR.
After the qso I always look to „qrz.com“ and I found the information
for
this award.
The article „Geschichte eines Betriebsamateurfunkclubs“ from Falk
-DK7ZZ-
and Andreas -DL7ZZ- was interesting me very much. I knew Falk from
Berlin
personally, he is my QSL-card checker for the DXCC and we met
several times
since over 30 years during the HAM-Radio in Friedrichshafen/Bodensee
– Lake
Constance-.
It was a very quick delivery of the diploma. One big mistake I made,
giving
my P.O. Box address, because I thought the delivery will come as
letter. But
some telephone-calls to the DHL Express Service in Dortmund and
giving the
street adress, all was ok and the diploma could be delivered. Now I
am the
proud first owner of this diploma.
An alle Freunde im deutschsprachigen Raum:
Schaut in Eure logs, und wenn Ihr 5 QSO's beisammen habt erstellt
einen
Logbuch-Auszug (entsprechend der Vorlage bei qrz.com) und beantragt
das
Diplom, aber bitte an die Straßenanschrift nicht ein Postfach !
Es lohnt sich und unterstützt den Borcelik Amateur Radio Club
-YM3VBR und
natürlich die Freundschaft zur Türkei !

Mission and Vision
The mission and vision of YM3VBR were defined within, first, the legislative frameworks that is binding for Turkish amateur radio operators and second, company procedures of Borçelik. Hence the mission statement: to make amateur radio a wide-known and respected hobby for the employee base and develop skilled amateur radio operators form the members of Borçelik. Our vision extends the horizons of amateur radio, to become a technologically advanced and a self-sufficient station, especially equipment-wise. We're also open to conduct collaborative activities with other Hobby Clubs of Borçelik, namely Trekking Club and other Clubs with outdoor skills, such as Scuba Diving and Fishing.

Club in a Company
YM3VBR is one of the very few amateur radio clubs that are established within corporate settings. The idea originated when our company, Borçelik launched Hobby Clubs, as a means to motivate and bind together the employee base. All members are the employee of the Company and the whole support is provided by the Company itself. Professional communication needs and associated processes are all outside form the mision and vision of YM3VBR, which solely deals with "amateur" radio. Ham radio friends outside the Company are always welcomed to support YM3VBR, only if their contribution aligns with the binding rules and procedures of the Club. Year by year, YM3VBR tries to leverage the abilities provided by the Company in a developing manner.
