Well, I've had an interesting collection of responses.
I do want to thank everyone who bothered to reply, and I think I've pretty
much made my decision. But first...
Let's see. I've had a six people tell me just to maximize as much as I can;
two suggest that I do them all if the checker is will

Yup; they were begging while Martti was bangin' 'em

I wouldn't pay much attention to the spot pattern. They are invariably well
behind real time and are incomplete. I find Olli (CW) generally moves up the
band a few hundred cycles to 1 khz (depending on QRM) per QSO and back down
again when there are a lot of callers. Today on 17, he sat on 1 f
One thing that's pretty obvious, especially if you keep an eye on the
cluster while trying to work them, is that their pattern is -- no pattern!
Based on the spots alone, they'll work someone transmitting on 7015, then
7021, then 7012, etc. ... up and down within the announced listening range.

Keep the faith! FJ is a beautiful tourist island and there will be many
operations from there. I'm sure you will be able to work it in contests,
especially as the next sunspot cycle peaks.
Maybe if I get down there again I can do some operating. The Carl Gustav
Hotel is a neat place.

I echo the sentiments. Merry Christmas or whatever your Winter Solstice
tradition happens to be, and Happy New Year to all!

Sounds like something custom made for Martti? You sure it's not "Finn

Ron,
Unless you want to spend your whole life on the radio (and we both
know people who do), you need first to pick a limited set of

Don't know what equipment they're using but I think they have verticals on
the beach. I'll bet they're running a kW though.
Their signal has been superb here, too. What really impresses me is that
Olli just works EU right through the USA wall on CW. Maybe he has very
narrow filters. He wi

Thoughts?
Ron, unfortunately, out thought pattern is near the same. If I were
to send in a single band, I would want it to be 30 meters. Beyond 30
meters, 160 is my other favorite, and that apparently isn't an
option. CW would definitely be a favorite o
You need to think about it and decide why to send them in at all. In
almost 40 years, I've only sent in for Mixed and RTTY. All the
band-mode stuff I just track for my own satisfaction in DX4WIN. I don't
need any more wallpaper. I don't even bother sending for QSLs for the
band-mode stuff -
As I've mentioned from time to time, being the master procrastinator that I
am, I never did get around to sending in anything towards DXCC.
Well, I finally decided enough is enough is enough, and I will be visiting
with the local DXCC card checker before the end of the year to finally get

A beauty of a signal on 40m this morning. Excellent operation w/great CW ops
Heard the other FJ group up on 20SSB as well.

Hi all,
Does anyone know what Olli and Martti are running from FJ?
They've been putting a truly magnificent signal into this part of the world,
certainly a change from the half-a-watt-into-a-wet-string expeditions. They're
currently (10am) coming in at 20db over 9 on 40m cw and were
