BITS & PIECES -
TX4C FOR SECOND TIME!
ASIAN TURKEY WITH A HAPPY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY AND ROUND NUMBERS
Leena, OH2BE and Martti, OH2BH left Finland for an unknown address in
Asian Turkey on their wedding anniversary and Leena's round-number
birthday. Today is the wedding anniversary and Mom was on the ropes at
an antenna party in the soaring temperature of 36C. They got the job
done and TC4X should be on the air now plus in the European DX Contest
this weekend.
Outside of the contest TC4X will be operated by Tefvik, TA1HZ. The
upcoming magic day will be topped with a candlelight dinner and
lacebedsheet at a place overlooking the romantic Marmara Sea at sunset.
Gosh, the actual birthday coincides with the contest but mixing and
maxing will hopefully provide the best results on both fronts. Who said
life is an easy journey when you marry a beady-eyed contest type?
