© 2010 Arctic Diamonds - TF4M
Yngvi, TF3Y and myself decided to attend the Contest Club Finland annual conference held on the ferry between Helsinki and Stockholm.
I presented my Rhombic station as “Arctic Diamonds” and was very well received.
You may download my presentation here.
At the end of the presentation I played an audio file of my QSO with HL3IUA on 160m and I understood that some attendees thought the file had to be fake!
I assure you it is authentic, reception at TF4M really IS like this – absolutely noise free.

After returning to Helsinki Martti, OH2BH showed us his stations and antennas, and then we had dinner with him, Ranko, 4O3A and Juha, OH8NC where many fantastic ideas were discussed.
We had an absolutely marvellous time, I do not hesitate to say that this was the highlight of my Amateur Radio life until now.
We both look forward to the next one.
Conditions on 160M have been great lately. I have worked dozens of stations in Japan, VK6VZ and NL7Z are in the log as well.
Today, 25th November it all ended. The Aurora is back and has covered the polar regions.
I worked JW5NM in Svalbard – you may listen to the QSO below. Notice the auroral sound of his transmissions.

BV1EK was heard with good signals most of the day, but did not hear my calls.
JA7OEM had an amazingly strong and steady signal for hours. We had a short QSO
