Jouko, OH1RX who was on a Salmon fishing trip visited my area with his group and operated TF4X in the IARU contest.
Conditions were rather poor, but this was to be expected at this time of the year.
Antennas and equipment performed without incidents.
Jouko commented to the contest organizers:
“Great experience to work agn from ultima thule at Thors fantastic station. Bands are never kind to the ops above 64N, but his time it was a real uphill. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoyed couple of low band mults from TF!
CUL agn de Jouko OH1RX”
It was an honour to have such an accomplished contester operate my station.
I hope to see OH1RX again perhaps for a serious effort one day.
I am taking the opportunity while the weather is bad to work inside the shack.
New cables have been routed into the equipment room and a 19″ equipment rack installed for the Harris amplifiers.
Two cables were installed for future use with the ends coming out of the ground in strategic places.
Hopefully I will not need to route more cables into the shack.
Operating position “C” is now fully operational – I tested the Harris RT1446/RF-350K with the 1KW amplifier this afternoon and there seem to be no problems.
It only remains to connect and test operating position “D” and then the station will be fully functional.
I would be interested in comments on the quality of my signals.
Today, the call TF4X has been issued for use at the TF4M station.
