Back to the basics, the contest seems to be successful, several stations organized special transmissions for Global HF Weekend and Pirate Hunt 2018, both (accidently and luckily) held during the very same Easter weekend. From the Finnish point of view the propagation seemed to be very fine. The online results will be updated here and there is time till April 30, 2018 to send in your logs.

If possible, my DX activity has gone even closer to zero.

The only radioactivity was a free-to-take comic strips from a local library. Radio Otto was inspired by the liberalization of private broadcasting back in the 1985.

I have sent out some of the older reports anyway, and got even few replies. Spring is coming and in one and a half month SpE should be going on again! Pirate Hunt 2018, held for the third year in a row at Easter will take place this weekend.

My personal log for Pirate Hunt 2018 will come here: http://bbs.fmdx.tk/index.php?topic=460.msg1808#msg1808

Only one log for this week:

95.900 10.03. 1625- FIN: Radio Patmos. Jyväskylä -tx. //89.2 MHz. Temp. 1 kW 01032018-31052018. ES-kaudelle tähän tullee Kesäseuraradio, eli taas yksi menetetty taajuus. JMN

It’s time to count FM QSLs for annual FM QSL rank of Finnish DX Association. FM QSL list is updated here, for any v/s information feel free to contact me.

I am also curious to know which are (statistically) most important countries and languages for a FMDXer living in inner Finland:

CTR/NUMBER OF QSLs
RUS 122
I 84
D 70
F 45
CZE 40
G 39+3
FIN 1 (38+4)
UKR 34
ROU 32
S 27
SRB (YUG+SCG) 26
POL 25
BEL 20
HRV 20
HOL 20
HNG 17
AUT 16
DNK 16
SVK 14
BIH 13
EST 11
BUL 8
TUR 8
IRL 7
SVN 7
BLR 6
LVA 6
MDA 5
NOR 4
SUI 4
ISL 3
LUX 3
CYP 2
KAZ 2
LTU 2
RSM 2
E 2
ALG 1
GRC 1
ISR 1
KOS 1
MNE 1
POR 1

TOTAL 769 (806)

The eight biggest countries RUS, I, D, F, CZE, G, UKR, ROU (Finland not included) consist ca. 60% of all QSLs. First six countries have brought 400 QSLs to my collection, that’s ca. 50%. So it’s obvious that most important languages are: Russian, Italian, German, French, Czech, English and Romanian. I have sent reports to Ukraine mainly in Russian which is widely understood there. As those languages are also useful for reporting to ALG, AUT, BEL, BLR, IRL, KAZ, MDA, LUX, RSM, SUI and SVK it means 546 QSLs all together, roughly 70%.

QSLs this week:
RAI Internazionale, Prato Smeraldo 9570 kHz;
RAI Piemonte, Torino Volpiano 999 kHz;
RAI GR Parlamento 89.7 MHz;
RAI Radio 3 99.9 MHz

98.500 03.03. 0738- FIN: JMK Ralliradio, Jämsä. Himos -tx. Hyvällä asenteella n. 70 km takaa parvekkeelle hätäisesti heitettyyn dipoliin, Yagit kun ovat edelleen talvilevolla. Hyvin tehtyä ohjelmaa, haastatteluja, musiikkia ja runsaasti paikallisten yrittäjien mainoksia. JMN

101.300 02.03. 0915- FIN: Suomirock. Pihtipudas -tx. Äänekosken lisäksi Pihtiputaan lähetin on saatu ääneen. Asiakkaan pihasta löytyi paikka jossa Pieksämäen väkivahva KISS putosi ja tämä pääsi puristumaan esiin ID:llä. Pihtiputaan ja Pieksämäen puolivälissä voi olla mielenkiintoinen puuro taajuudella.

QSLs this week: Radio Powerplay 3840 kHz

QSLs this week: Radio Pandora, The Netherlands 1625 kHz

Inactivity continues, again only one log this week

100.500 22.2. 0830- FIN: Suomirock. Äänekoski -tx. Jyväskylässä Suomirockin kuuluminen kahdella taajuudella aitoitalialaiseen malliin on lopultakin päättynyt, kun 96.8 MHz on nyt allokoitu Äänekoskelle ja samalla taajuudeksi on vaihdettu 100.5 MHz häiriöiden välttämiseksi. Aloittanut nyt siis tässä ja 96.8 MHz vapautui jälleen DX-käyttöön. Jyväskylän 106.4 MHz jatkaa normaalisti. JMN/VW Caddy

Inactivity continues, only one log for this week

105.400 17.2. 1110- FIN: Instanssi, Jyväskylä. Tämäkin on lopulta aloittanut. Mediamonitorin TET:n mukaan lupa oli aluksi voimassa jo joulusta Tikkakoskelle, mutta sittemmin täsmentynyt Jyväskylään ja aloituspäiväkin myöhentynyt. Tarrasi nyt vahingossa autoillessa RDS- hakuun, näyttäen kenttiä INSTANSI, INST4NSI, 1NSTANSI, IN5TANSI, INS7ANSI, INSTANS1, INSTAN51 jne ja soitellen ”kasibittistä”. Myös audio-ID muutamaan otteeseen: ”Tapahtumaradio Instanssi 105.4 MHz”. Lähetin oli edelleen päällä kotiin ajellessa iltapäivällä ja ilmeisesti tästä lähin jatkuvasti. Itse tapahtuma on Jyväskylässä 1.-4.3.2018. http://instanssi.org:8000/fm.opus. JMN/Alfan kabiini
