[CCF] CQWW SSB OH0X(OH6KZP) SOAB HP

[Tomi Ylinen]

Onnittelut Kimille hienosta suorituksesta.

Hatun nosto myös kaikille muille SOAB-operaattoreille jotka punnertavat kisan läpi. Itse en siihen pystynyt, fone on liian rankka laji.

Elikkäs OH0Z siirtyi su aamupäivällä assisted-luokkaan. Netti oli nurin mutta kännykän selaimella onnistui kivasti seuraamaan klusteria.

Kaikesta huolimatta tämä on hauska laji. Harvassa muussa hommassa pääsee flow-tilaan, jossa aikakäsitys muuttuu. Puhumattakaan hallusinaatioista ilman huumeita.
