Puns aside, I hadn't seen this on the reflector, so I thought I'd pass it

TREASURE HUNT FOR SEVEN (7) LOW-POWER STATIONS

OH2W, OH4W, OH5W, OH6W, OH7W, OH8W and OH9W

The IARU Radiosport event slated for July 9-10, 2005 is a qualifying run for
serious OH contesters to gain an official Finnish slot in the Amateur Radio
Olympics (WRTC-2006) to be held in Brazil next year. The 100-watt stations
listed above, all with similar antennas, will be competing against each
other and looking for your QSOs! All bands, CW and  SSB, are going to be
used.

If you can log all seven (7) stations, you will qualify for a professional
WRTC-2002 video presenting a similar WRTC event organized in Finland three
years ago. James Brooks, 9V1YC has donated these videos to those with all 
seven callsigns logged.

Six competitors - OH0XX, OH1NOA, OH1JT, OH2UA, OH4JFN and OH6RX -
will be joined by a seventh dark horse racer with full power. W-suffix 
callsigns
will be issued randomly just prior to the event.
