OH2AM's 60TH ANNIVERSARY ---> 19 September marked the 60th anniversary of
the OH2AM station's debut in the 1964 Scandinavian Activity Contest. The
newly formed OH-DX-Ring achieved remarkable success by winning first place
in both multi-multi CW and Phone categories. The anniversary is commemorated
by the release of Laura Piipari's new book, "Atlas of QSL Cards", a fasci-
nating journey through the world of DX guided her late father's valuable QSL
card collection (https://atlasofqsl.com/). The OH2AM-60 Lottery, launched in
August, concluded with ten winners (DL2TOS, HA1DAE, K6CZ, K8MFO, LU6DOT,
OH2KI, OH4X, TA4RC, VE3ZZ and W5DV) receiving a fresh-off-the-press copy of
the book. Among the Scandinavian stations participating in this weekend's CW
leg of the SAC, you will also hear the mothership OH2AM and its modern ver-
sion OH8X from the Far North. [TNX OH2BH]
