After our summer visit at the Radio Island OH73ELK we discussed meeting each other, and we decided to meet in march 2019 at the WPX weekend. So here we go, on route to OH73ELK.

And like the summer it was great to be a OH73ELK. I met Alex and Raisa for the first time in person. It's is great when you have the opportunity to spent the weekend like we did. Having long talks on 1001 things, share music and off course enjoy the radio hobby. For Alex and Raisa it was the first time to join a contest, and they liked it!

We were working the radio in team together either single so the others could relaxed, enjoy the great food Raisa made or go out for a walk and get some fresh air ;-).

Thanks to the nice antenna's, hard work and a bit of luck we achieved our goal for the weekend, 1000 QSO's. Actually we made 1001 ;-).

Beside the regular well known contest stations we worked BD, JA, JT, V85, VK4 and PR (on 40m)

 

 

 

AMATEUR RADIO ISLAND

This summer I (Pe2W and my YL made  a long round trip through Scandinavia  with our camper. Beside the I did bring also my portable HAM gear. A Yaesu FT-857 with an End-fed. During the trip I did mount my End-fed between my “fishing pole” antenna mast and a local tree to work the world. So now and then I “google” around and sitting on the “end of the world”, at least of Europe. we we’re in Havøysund when I did found www.oh73elk.net.

In the summer of 2007 I joined the "DX Holiday" to Malta. Unfortunately the logfile of this HAM radio holliday has been lost. If you worked me that summer, please let me now and leave a message through te contact form.
