Comments:

This was a semi-serious operation, since I had to quit at 1630z on  
Sunday to head back to the mainland. Nevertheless, it was fun with a  
few hours of 100+ rates. If lucky, I might have been able to tap into  
the productive night-time polar path during the second night, but due  
to my upcoming schedule I didn't push it and went to bed at 22z when  
the band appeared to be dying out.

I was actually going to do a 15m single band effort, but antenna  
issues coupled with strong geomagnetic disturbances made me move down  
one step. I also made a few QSOs with my personal call mostly on the  
low bands to provide the multiplier, since I suspected I'd be the only  
OH0 around.

Thanks to the Brändö Island Group for letting me use their fine  
station. Moreover, thanks to Pertti OH2PM, his XYL Kirsti, and Jaakko  
OH1TX for keeping me well fed on my way to Åland and back!

CU in the Russian DX Contest in two weeks. On CW, free of that pesky splatter.
