Soapbox Comments ________________

Thanks to Kari for making this operation possible, to Kimmo for 
lending me a radio and to Taneli for all the last minute tips. And big 
thanks to the USA 1297, VE 73, N.A. 88, S.A. 77, EU 1165, AF 41 
ASIA 201, JA 260, OC 42 calls in the contest.

STN: 160 Spitfire special   la OH5LF with 300 m of RG213 
           80 2 cut guy-wires (here much room for improvement) 
           40 2-el klm shortened yagi (at 36 m) (here as well) 
           20 KT34XA -array system, one fixed other 2 rotable 
           15 (to a limited degree). 
           10

FT1000MP + TS830S (with which made a total of 4 second radio qsos, but
which was used to monitor condx).

Saturday spent mostly listening and picking up others who called CQ. 
That payed of since I got very tired on Sunday evening and all I could 
do anymore was to call CQ. 48 hours on the air. See the rate of hours 
18-20 on Sunday - I had to drop the CW-speed & go out every 10 
minutes to wash my face with snow! My strategy was to spent as much 
time as possible on 14-28 MHz where OH5LF is competitive. 
This worked out just fine.
