OJ0B Market Reef
Inviato: 8 giugno 2011, 7:23This coming Saturday, Martti, OH2BH ; Pertti, OH2PM and Pekka, OH2TA will land on the rocks for three days to finalize the semi-permanent antenna installation and to test Market Reef’s new power plant. They will have two stations active as OJ0B primarily for 30M, 17M and 20M CW/SSB. It is also expected that one of the lighthouse keepers, Harri, OH6VM/OH0VM will follow the group for another week with the beam. OJ0B QSL via OH2BH
A group of Finnish DXers have agreed with the Finnish Lighthouse Society (FLS), the folks currently operating and renovating the Market Reef lighthouse, that a permanent SteppIR beam can remain on the roof of the building and can be used by visiting DX groups at the cost of modest compensation to the FLS. New services also include a large generator/battery plant able to supply 3x 230 VAC 10A each (6KW) on a 24/7 basis for visiting groups.
In spite of inclement weather with icy storms, the SteppIR beam survived another winter season (2010/2011), and you can see its location by looking up the daily diary of the lighthouse for April 25, 2011 here:
