WRTC TEAM AZORES RADIO EQUIPMENT TESTING AT OH0W

RadioTeam Azores traveled to Aland Islands to set up a WRTC-like station to
test technology and put men into action. Ville, OH2MM/PY2ZEA flew in from
Brazil to run, share results and participate in a critical selection process
while Veijo, OH6KN took all gear and testing equipment from Radio Arcala 
(OH8X) labs and drove to OH1-land to catch a ferry to Aland Islands.

The OH0W callsign was re-activated to lift the spirit and provide some OH0
variety. The suffix (W) used in 1982 was selected as a symbol of winning! As
the season's first Formula One (F1) car race  took place in Australia on the
same weekend, the smell of kerosene was clearly in evidence in Aland Islands.

Two kinds of radio equipment were subjected to rigorous testing - FTdx3000 
and FTdx5000 - as equipment selection is of crucial importance to WRTC 
unique setup. 

Yaesu Musen  Co. Ltd of Japan, the team’s equipment provider, had put up
everything needed into this event. A professional testing report on radio
performance will be provided for future radio designs.

What fun it was to run like madmen for 24h but also have some hours off with
OH6KN doubling as a good operator and shouldering some shifts from two seasoned
Azores team members.

OH0W will be activated a few more times prior to WRTC-2014 and ultimately also
during the actual WRTC race. Additionally, the YOTA (Youth On The Air) event
will bring together fifteen (15) European youth teams to run their own WRTC - 
known as ERTC-2014. These fifteen teams will stage a WRTC-like event on an
equal playing field �" that being in their case in Virtual Reality.

Next in line will be WPX SSB. Just follow the script…
