Dear Fellow DXer, Contester!

OHDXF organizes the 21st DX & Contest Meeting during the first weekend of April. This time we will have the traditional cruise from Helsinki to Stockholm and back. The departure date is Friday the 5^th and the arrival on Sunday the 7^th of April 2019.

On Friday we shall get together once the ship leaves Helsinki. Christian Janssen, DL1MBG, the President of WRTC 2018 e.V. will be our Guest Speaker that evening. At 8 pm we’ll have a common sea buffet dinner and thereafter lots of eyeball QSO’s with old and new friends.

The actual meeting will be on Saturday on the ship while it is in Stockholm Viking Terminal. We expect many Swedes to come to the day meeting, since the first part of the day is used to the aftermath of WRTC 2018 competition. At least the Swedish and Finnish teams and possibly one or two other teams shall debate. Tomi, OH2BBT has done a comprehensive RBN-analysis of the all the WRTC 2018 stations. And of course the referee will be Chris, DL1MBG.

Fabio Schettino, I4UFH will introduce the next game, WRTC 2022 in Italy right after a small lunch break.

Thereafter we’ll give the stage to Martti, OH2BH, who starts the DX section with his guaranteed know how and style. His presentation may still change, as we know much is on the stake again. In addition there is one or two DX presentation still waiting the consent of their speakers.
