OHFF Flora & Fauna Finland järjestää kesäkuun toisena viikonloppuna aktivointiviikonlopun jossa kannustamme radioamatöörejä retkeilemään OHFF luonnonsuojelukohteisiin pitämään radioyhteyksiä ympäri maailman. Toivotamme kaikki mukaan pitämään hauskaa ja antamaan hunttereille paljon qsoja jokaisella modella. Muistetaan että ei jätetä mitään jälkeemme arvokkaille luonnonsuojelualueille ja huomioidaan myös muut retkeilijät kohteissa. Vuonna 2020 pidämme kilpailun La 13.6. 0600 UTC – Su 14.6. 1500 UTC.

Tällä sivulla julkaisemme myös kilpailun tulokset.

On January 6, 1838, Samuel Morse’s telegraph system is demonstrated for the first time at the Speedwell Iron Works in Morristown, New Jersey. The telegraph, a device which used electric impulses to transmit encoded messages over a wire, would eventually revolutionize long-distance communication, reaching the height of its popularity in the 1920s and 1930s.

Samuel Finley Breese Morse was born April 27, 1791, in Charlestown, Massachusetts. He attended Yale University, where he was interested in art, as well as electricity, still in its infancy at the time. After college, Morse became a painter. In 1832, while sailing home from Europe, he heard about the newly discovered electromagnet and came up with an idea for an electric telegraph. He had no idea that other inventors were already at work on the concept.

Saturday, April 19, is World Amateur Radio Day (WARD), this year marking the 95th anniversary of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU). Around the world, amateur radio special event stations — most sponsored by IARU member-societies — will mark the event on the air, starting on April 18 at 0000 UTC and continuing until April 19, at 0000, honing skills and capabilities while enjoying global friendship with other amateurs worldwide. The theme for WARD is “Celebrating Amateur Radio’s Contribution to Society.” IARU President Tim Ellam, VE6SH/G4HUA, notes that the COVID-19 pandemic casts the event in a different light than in years past.
