It has been long time I have written here.. Anyway I made some updates on this web site.

Spring is coming and Antenna Bug has bitten me. :-) Have to get prepared for the next summer. I'm plannig to be active on 6m band. Now is the time to make some research on antennas.

Yesterday I made nice 3el Tape Measure Yagi for 2m portable use. It was easy to make and work's great. I recommend! I'll put some picture of it soon.

I got honorable mention of young radio amateur at Lahti Radio Amateur Club OH3AC's 80 year anniversary. I got it mostly because I was teaching the radio technics for becoming radio amateurs this fall. All of my 14 students got their ham licences at their first tries. FB students!
