4S6STP Amateur Radio Station of Prep Scouts STPS had the liberty of meeting Mr. Markus, General Manager of WiMo Electronics and Antenna establishment in Germany. WiMo empowers technological , communication solutions across the world and market leader for ham radio products in Europe.  

Mr. Markus donated Amateur Radio equipment to aid equipping 4S6STP Scout Amateur Radio Station which sparked interest in young Scouts. This donation included a long range High Frequency Antenna to communicate to different parts of the world from Sri Lanka.

A special meeting was organized to host them and appreciate whilst they were in Sri Lanka during their vacation.

Update:

First Package: An Icom Handheld ID50E and a multi band End-Fed Antenna shipped in august 2025 when he wanted to donate these two items and surprise us. However due to an authorization letter requested by FedEx although other documents, clearance submitted, the package still in a halt position until the authorization letter is given by the 3rd party. 

Second Package: The second shipment is currently in the final stage, pending the standard review and issuance of permits by TRCSL. We understand the community is eager for this gear; however, the speed of the rollout is currently determined by the commission's processing window. The Radio Society of Sri Lanka  has aided numerously to assist the technical and practical issues arose. (Let us hope for the best)

Something to admire

Mr. Markus and his family hadn't thought about a vacation in Sri Lanka. This is their first time. They designed a top notch vacation plan to Sri Lanka just for this and enjoy the country whilst their stay. 

We are very thankful for Mr. Markus, Mr. Uli, WiMo in whole for being a pillar of strength to 4S6STP Scout Amateur Radio Station and we wish all the best for their organization.
