OH0B - Midsummer in Aland Islands, June 19-22
Not many people have probably thought about the meaning of Midsummer for
the folks up in Northern Europe and specifically those rituals that are
related to Aland Islands. Maybe not even about the reason why OH0 ranks
as another DXCC counter. Simply, Aland is a highly modern society of
some 27.000 people and a dozen or so active hams. Also, it is home to
three super stations stuck away at different points of the archipelago.
To reach Aland Islands one needs to take a ferry from mainland Finland.
See more details at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%85land_Islands
It was 28 years ago when Martti, OH2BH and Leena, OH2BE visited the
easternmost island of the Aland group - Brando - and fell in love with
its beauty and remoteness plus the instant pileups always created from
there. And that marked the beginning of what is now one of the
well-known super stations frequently active with several callsigns. In
terms of hardware, the latest addition there was an 80M beam that was
put up last autumn.
That particular occasion almost thirty years ago was the Midsummer
celebration which is very special to these islands. This weekend Martti
and Leena will be on that same mission, and you will hear OH0B activated
mostly on 20M SSB. QSL via OH2BH.
