Thor is an incredible host who is building up a world-class operation in northwest Iceland. Thor has three rhombics, one to EU, one to US and one to JA. They performed flawless on 15 & 20. On 40M, I think conditions and some aurora kept me from maximizing a bigger a score. Thor is working on new ideas for 80 & 160 antennas. Please check out Thor’s location on QTH.com. Thor is looking to have other people operate his station. Check with Thor for details. You will not be disappointed with the radio operation! Thanks to everyone that worked me. The pile-ups on 15 & 20 were some of the biggest I’ve ever handled. Lots of fun! Anyone have a semi-rare location for me next year? Rich N0HJZRich has written a nice article about his visit to TF4M.
