HAM guests from France again. This time it's Olivier F4ETG with his family. They just came to visit the ELK island during the Golden Autumn, which is especially good to watch from the lake. And from OH73ELK Shack Olivier takes part in CQ WW SSB - the largest Amateur Radio Contest
Vlad OK2WX made the first QSO on the 6 m Band. This Band had not been used before, we did not have an antenna. TNX Vlad, who brought a Yagi to ELK. This antenna is not permanently installed, but each guest can do it. The mast and place for it are available
OH73ELK it is now equipped with VHF rig, antennas and accessories, TNX to Ralf DG5NGS! Will it be possible to use Aurora for VHF QSOs ? TNX to all our guests who are helping ELK become better and reflecting more aspects of our great hobby
"never had so much snow in my life",said Michael DL6MHW who came with XYL Andrea DL3ABL. Despite the snowdrifts, they managed to hang their own 160m ant, to take part in CQ WW 160 (our own 160m InvV is only for CW). Now Michael&Andrea plan to participate in ARRL DX with our Contest Call OG7Z
A QRZ picture "drawn" on ice by YL Raisa is from last winter. But nature looks the same now: frost and snow. For all questions about visiting ELK in 2024, you can contact us at: OH73ELK@gmail.com ! Welcome to the Lakeland in South-Eastern Finland!
