It gives me great pleasure to announce that the ZS Link Network Blog has reached an all time viewers total (hits) of 201 882, with 859 articles, this according to Google. Is this of any significance? Well if you like to brag or boast about the Blog then many will say that this total is of no significance. Others might be of the opinion that a 201 882 hits can easily be achieved. Well if the Blog was about South African Politics, Socialites or posting controversial and inflammatory content then sure you will reach a 201 882 hits in a day or two. However this blog is about Amateur Radio/Ham Radio/ Space/Science/Technology/DIY Projects/Homebrew/Nets/AREDN and too many other topics to mention here. Now why mention this "achievement" here.
It is quite simple. This Blog is not about the author. It is about those radio amateurs who contributed direct or indirectly to many posts on this Blog. You the contributes get all the recognition for keeping this Blog alive and interesting. Something must be done correctly to reach the 200 000 hits milestone. I would like to take this opportunity to thank every single radio amateur that contributed to the success of this Blog. But not only the contributors, also all our readers or visitors from all over the world. Hopefully in visiting the Blog many of our viewers have find something interesting to read and to view on the Blog. I could have just kept quiet and say nothing about this milestone but that would be in direct conflict with the amateur radio code, very selfish and ungrateful.
Once again thank you to everyone that contributed to the ZS Link Network Blog in any way. Lets continue and keep this Blog interesting and relevant.
