ARLA/CLUSTER: OJ1ABOA esta é uma Prenda de Natal...?answer QSLs when they return in three months.

[João Gonçalves Costa]

Mika, OH2FFP, is a team leader on an expedition from Finland to the Antarctica with 11 members heading to the Aboa Scientific Base located on Queen Maud land near the Swedish, Norwegian and German bases.

By the time you read this, the team should be there, and Mika could be active on the air using the very rare callsign OJ1ABOA.

Mika will answer QSLs when they return in three months.

The base has several transceivers. Mika plans to use 1 KW to a twin dipole for 40 and 20 meters on a 15 meter tall tower.

By the way, Mika is fairly new to amateur radio and has no experience with operating, and certainly not with pileups, but he is an expert on survival in extreme conditions - which may help on the air!  He has written two books on extreme conditions survival.
