OJ0X – Home safe!
Today was even more shaky than the trip to the Market Reef. Phones where ringing and beeping (when they worked – coverage is really bad), and messages between the group on the reef, the captain of the boat and the…
OJ0X – The end is very near
So, yesterday went on as usual (Sunday). Conditions was quite bad and when Teemu finished the SAC SSB contest almost all bands was dead. He still made some 2200 QSO’s during the contest wich was impressive with only a two…

OJ0X Trip – Now in OH0
The trip to Stockholm wentwell, in good time. But we got a ’minor problem’ in Stockholm and the GPS told us that we would hit Grisslehamn ferry terminal ten minutes AFTER departure. The GPS got better along the way (hi)…
Towards the Market Reef – OJ0X
A few weeks ago, SM0W/Teemu asked if I’d like to join a mini expedition to the Market Reef. Having been there with almost the same team four years yearlier (2007) it would be plain stupidity to turn this great offer…
