[CCF] CQWW CW CT8T(OH1NOA) SOSB/20 HP

[Timo Klimoff]

Ei ollut yökeliä ei. Etelästäkään.

OH qsoja lokissa 50 kpl. Duplikaatteja tuli lokiin 157 kpl, joten 24 tunnin 
tehokkaasta pileup-ajasta menetettiin 1-2 tuntia. Dupejen joukossa oli ihan 
CW-taitoisinakin pidettyjä asemia. Se on sitä kun hulluna workitaan mitä 
klusterille kilahtaa, minun kutsuni EI ollut CT7T tai YT8T :)
