IZ0FKE and
IZ0FMA
Again there in May 2007 for
SRT 4th International DX Convention
One of the Vikings at OH10TA
OH1MN stands for me, Markus Kaukovalta from Finland. Licenced 2003, general class amateur. Mostly like working on 2m SSB but also enjoy the long chats on HF. I try and work some contests from the Club OH1AA.
Home QTH consists of three radios, Icom IC-707, Yaesu FT-897 and Icom IC-2710.
Antennas are Fritzel GPA for 10/15/20m. End-fed 41m long wire antenna for HF, covering 10-160m. Horisontal 9 element Tonna yagi for 2m. I like working sporadic E openings on 6m with a Turnstile antenna made by OH1SDR and a new 3 element homebrew yagi. And now continuing with the new 4m band, building a 4m/6m dualband antenna by G0KCS 4elements on both bands and transverter by OH1SDR.
