Haha, I doubt I will have any chance to double my score However it was fun to probably win Europe and it was quite close to the European record, so maybe next year I can give it a try to beat it.

Cu in the contests!

And me, so happy in March when I received the WPX certificate for “… winning the 2012 World Wide WPX Contest SSB for the Singe Op High Power 20 Meters division for #1 in Sweden”.

My idea this year was to defend/justify the position one more time. Everything went well during the contest, until I heard you. And I started to wonder, if he is in the very same category as myself? Ofcourse you are! But good news for me is, it’s *only* 21 positions between us, and I doubled (approx) my score this year. Will you manage to do the same next year?

That sounds wonderful Tapi! I heard then SM5COP had talked with OH8QD about us taking the tower down, and he also said it seem to go to a good home. Also he said that he stayed there during a road trip with his wife a few years back, and had a silent minute while watching the tower. Must have hurt a bit in the old mans soul seing the antennas in such bad shape.

The tower is in beautiful condition, there are a few sections where I will need to touch up with the galvanized paint, but otherwise they are in great shape. OH8QD also told me that I should cover up the guy wire rings, since the old model had problems with ice and snow making them freeze up.

Was it OH8SR who helped Jaakko to put the tower up? Or was it OH6RM?

The plan is to get the tower up next year, and it will be the main tower for an 80m yagi and a big 15m stack.

Great to hear from you Tapi, and hope to work you on the bands this contest spring! I will be doing SOAB or SB 20 in WPX SSB.

Hi Mike,
Quite nostalgic feeling seeing those pictures.
I was there in 1983 with OH8QD putting those antennas up.
Somehow mixed feeling to see those and tower dismantled at least I belive they will go for a good home and will be much more in use as they used to be.
The first night we got 4/4/4/4 ready and cabled we fired Börje’s
Signal One tranceiver (the best and most expensive on that time)and gave a call on 20m on empty band.
And we got unbelievable yankee pileup. W’s were saying only signal from Europe and how are you so strong!?.

Later I heard local hams were about to run the contest from there, but the it somehow went happy together party and no big results..
See you again inte contests and take good care of that old tower!

You did a great job although bad propagation. I like photo nr. 14 the most. It would be a great desktop background on the contest computer. 73, Bas
