Greetings --

    Martti, OH2BH, was in town recently to have the US Premier of the 
WRTC2002 video and it was GREAT! Thanks to the Finnish guys and James, 9V1YC 
for their efforts. I'm sure it'll be available soon - don't miss it!

    Martti also had a couple of words to say about their recent AH3D 
operation. He picked up a small-ish carry-on bag and opened it - inside was a 
1000w Finn FET amp AND switching power supply. It was really impressive. He 
also had a new Yaesu transceiver that was pretty small itself so between the 
amp and the radio, the whole package was small and relatively lightweight. 
Grab a vertical antenna and you've got the most compact 1kw DXpedition set-up 
I've ever seen. Pretty cool.

Cheers,
Steve    K7LXC
