"you can probably not get a better antenna then this (well, maybee 
a big yagi or something) for 80m."

That was what I wrote!!!

I remember that article too......I've seen it in some CQ 
magazine........That was a pretty huge contest operation!!

I guess that the conds are pretty much the same in Finland and 
Sweden so I guess I don't need to come over......but I know what 
you're talking about........the guys working from EA8, P4 and those 
countries can beat us very easily with a 3el tribander or something 
like that and we can have, like 5/5/5/5 or something on all bands :-)
