The OH Pacific 2001 pedition scope is to activate Western Samoa (5W1) and Tonga (A35) for about two weeks each with a team of three Finnish radio amateurs: Henri Olander OH3JR, Veikko Pekola OH1AWW and Veijo Kontas OH6KN.

5W1 is around 80-100 and A35 around 130 on the various most wanted lists. But the activities on lowbands have been infrequent, so the position is much higher, especially from Europe. The main focus for the pedition will be on the low bands and operation to Europe.
