Hi everyone! Pasi OH2IW/OH6UM did not tell what presentations we had in Helsinki last weekend, so here's a short summary. Please notice that ALL the presentations were in English! Place: "Iso Paja" -
Richard Thorne: of been I sent my ARRL 10m contest log (I think) 2 days after the contest via email. No reply. I waited about 2 weeks and resent my log. After this, I received 4 confirmations from AR
There is a "minor" typo in OH1AF story: 20m and 15m antennas are really 4 over 4 (=2 ant stacks only) not four 4 element yagis! (Thanks Bob anyhow ;=) ) 73 Timo OH1NOA _______________________________
Hmm..seems that it is spring coming again because US contesters have started every-year fight against WPX rules ;=) Well, because there is the rest of the world also, so IMHO: 1) WPX 36 hours is good
Mike Kasrich: IA? I Yes! We get those 2 pts for all those 5 SMs and 3 LAs which we worked! Yippee! (But 0 pts for those 20 OH qsos :( ) 73 Timo OH1NOA ________________________________________________

This is European, or to be exact, from OH's point of wiev (no response from EU except mine so far here): Ken Silverman: count as outside similar to JAs are bigger PARTLY NO On the low bands we are ab
I wonder if there is any other reason to subscribe CQMagazine to Finland than CQWW and CQ WPX results (=5 issues)??? "Unknown reader" (ref: Jose's posting =) ) MIME:K7LXC@aol.com: issues. ___________
WAE Ins and Outs in Europe: IN: - interesting QTC traffic system - different multiplier counting - summer propagation - good score leaflet, you'll get it if you send your log OUT: - 48 hours, not eno
Dainius Savicius: Hey Dan! Please, do not trade mark "European black hole" for LY! ;) 73 from "Alaska of Europe" (tm) Timo OH1NOA _____________________________________________________________________
