OJ0X DXPEDITION CAME TO AN END WITH 66.000+ QSOs. Press release by
Jarmo, OH2BN, from Helsinki, dated November 7th, states (edited):
"With record warm temperatures and calm seas, the last OJ0X sub-group
of Timo/OG9X, Olli/OH0XX, Martti/OH2BH and Teemu/SM0W got back to Aland
Islands with 10,000 CQWW QSOs in the books, bringing the total to more
than 66,000 in the OJ0X log. The updated log search page is now online
at <www.qrz.com/db/OJ0X> with the latest pictures to be added soon.
The OJ0X operating team comprised these fourteen (14) operators:
Salvatore/DH7SA, Dietmar/DL3DXX, Frank/DL5CW, Timo/OG9X, Olli/OH0XX,
Juha/OH1ND, Pekka/OH1TV, Miika/OH2BAD, Martti/OH2BH, Ilmo/OH2BO, Tapani/
OH5BM, Teemu/SM0W, Rick/SM6U and Robert/SP5XVY.
While the gang experienced all kinds of weather in fighting for their
landings and departures, they were satisfied in being able to catch some
good high-band openings, offering OJ0 on those bands and modes for the
first time. They managed the four weeks without a glitch among the rotating
groups.
Here, they offer a score card listing those with the highest number of
band points in various geographical areas, such as Japan: JA6BZI and
JA4DND (21) and JA4EPE, JR4FYW and JA0FSB (19). In the United States, top
honors go to K5EK (17) followed by W4CHA, W4DXA and N8RR. The U.S. West
Coast is led by W7AL (11), followed by N6ED (10). In Europe, OK2PAY and
LZ1NG are credited with 23 band points, followed by EA1SB and ON7GB (22)
and DF3QG and PA1PVH (21). Oceania's best score (15) comes from VK7ZE
and South America's from YV8AD (13).
All in all, OJ0X contacted 26,873 individuals, and 141 stations made it
on all 9 bands offered.
The background team offering help and performing several support
functions consisted of:
Mario/9H5QB, Nigel/G3TXF, Jarmo/OH2BN, Pertti/OH2PM, Harri/OH6VM,
Tore/SM0DZB, Vlad/UA6LV and the boat captain, Mats Sjostrom, plus the
Finnish Lighthouse Society's chairman, Pekka Vaisanen, and Market Reef
chairperson, Angela Eriksson, who did their utmost to make everything
jell.
If you are interested in operating from Market Reef in 2012, you may
contact Pekka or Angela for more information at:
http://www.majakkaseura.fi/eng/market
Harri, OH6VM/OJ0VM, is also offering you a complete tour of the light-
house facilities at: http://www.oh6vm.org/market
