Radiosporting Team (RST) was established in 1997, when
long-time friends OH1EH,
OH1JT and OH2MAM joined forces with one goal in mind: to build a first-class
HF single
operator contest station on Aland Islands, OH0.
Search for the perfect contest QTH began in early 1997.
During one of those several trips
to OH0 we got together, at Lasseïs OH0RJ suggestion, with the Alandia Contest
Team
(ACT) guys, who sported an excellent VHF contest location on top of a hill,
some 200 ft
above the sea level with a clear take-off to all directions. The ACT had already
established
itïs position as a real force in the VHF/UHF circles and the guys didnït
mind having a
couple of HF towers on their hilltop! One thing led to another and by September
1998,
we had two rotating towers up with lotïs of aluminum ready to hit the airwaves.
We are grateful to the Alandia Contest Team and to Lasse, OH0RJ for their help.
This is
what ham spirit is all about!
