     Comments:

     This time I had a big group of visitors at my unfinished contest
     station working the IARU contest. The group had come to Finland for
     WRTC and they also wanted to have some fun and operate in the IARU
     contest. So I agreed to host the group although we had just one radio
     and antennas were switched by screwing and unscrewing the connectors.
     Well we had a ball anyway. We were just working the pile-ups in our
     turns and while waiting to operate we had a lot of fun together with
     the rest of the crew. There was no sweating for the multipliers.

     Here are some comments from the operators and the highlights of
     the contest:
     "Installing antennas at midnight in sunlight was a blast!"
     "Multi-single operating with no multiplier radio and drinking
     beer while waiting for a turn at the run radio is great!"
     While Alex, W2OX was operating a CT station who suspected his accenct
     and asked Alex: "Are you finnish?"
     W2OX replied: "Yes I am finished, are you?"
     Then they both laughed rolling on the floor.

     Thanks guys for the great weekend!
