| Nigel G3TXF operated as OX/G3TXF in the 2008 WAE RTTY Contest from the OX2A club-station in Kangerlussuaq (Søndre Strømfjord) on the west coast of Greenland. 560 QSOs were made in the WAE RTTY Contest and another 1,170 QSOs were made on CW during the short visit to Greenland. Many thanks to Jesper OX3KQ and to Holger OX3HI who kindly provided the use of their OX2A club-station located on the top of Black Ridge just outside Kangerlussuaq. |
