OH0AM CQ 160M DX Contest 1997
pedition to Aland Islands by Contest Club Finland

OH0MYF WARC band operation 1997

Harry OH6YF/OH0MYF is using snow scraper to move heavy linears to the cottage in a snowy Island. Nice way to make the job easier.

Snow made our life hard. Here we are dicking a car from snowy ditch. Finally we made it there. L to R: Timo OH1MDR/OH0MDR, Ari OH1EH and Tom OH6EI/OH0KDY.

Ari OH1EH makes here the final connection to our 160 meter vertical on the top of our radio house. We made 1/4 wave vertical to get better signal for the contest. Anyway, it didn't work as well as we expected.

After loooooong nights of calling CQ on the 160 meter band, it is a good way to relax with a cup of coffee. Here Timo OH1MDR/OH0MDR feels relaxed.
