OH1WZ has been my callsign since March 1984. Much retired, but still a member of OH1AD, Salon radiokerho ry.
Amateur radio (wiki) is an exciting hobby although much of the glamour is gone with internet and wireless communications.
In Finland, SRAL is the source of information for newbies and wannabees.

The reddish colors denote aurora ovals estimated by NOAA.
To learn the HF propagation, I programmed such mapping tools.

Trophy OH2UA, OH2BH, OH1WZ
I have liked radiosporting (contesting) a lot. The picture on the right has OH2UA, OH2BH (World's most famous ham) and me pictured for a fun(?) QSL-card, sometime in 2002-2003.
Worldwide, 24- or 48-hour radio contests are really fascinating events and you get carried away spending countless hours for preparations and aftermath.
