OH1WZ has been my callsign since March 1984.

Amateur radio (wikipedia) is an exciting hobby although much of
the glamour is gone with internet and wireless communications. Best part are the friends you make.
In Finland, SRAL is the source of information for newbies and wannabees.

PileUP! Newsletter Editor 2006-2011 (Editor, Founding member of CCF 1996-) PileUP! homepage 2006-2011 with pdfs Summary sheets of Radio Contests by OH1WZ For a few years, I enjoyed being a part of OH8X Radio Arcala This map shows the world from the Finnish horizon. The reddish colours denote aurora ovals estimated by NOAA. To learn the HF propagation, I programmed some mapping tools. I was allowed to operate some of the finest amateur radio stations in Finland in radio contests.

In 1981 the solar maximum brought interesting contacts on 27 MHz. Pyötsaari. Vehkalahti By 1985, I had got the general class ticket to work SSB. Salo. In 1995 @ OH5NQ in Mustila, Elimäki. 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.
