[CQ-Contest] WPX info - Vanity Calls in Sweden

[Jan-Eric Rehn (SM3CER - 7S3A - SA3R)]

Hello,

When mentioning the Swedish prefix SI, Magnus forgot about the very active 
visiting station SI9AM, with almost 50.000 QSO:s since 1999. Active on all 
bands CW/SSB/RTTY. Also active in the bigger contests.

Info about that visiting station at: http://www.si9am.se/
