6-8th June 2003 I was in KP51AT for small FSK expedition. 1st idea was work 2 day longer but just reason that I change QRL place made expedition little bit shorter. Anyway, it seemed that there was not too much activation also.

Time to time I was wondering, that KP51 is still in MWS2003 list, because QSOs went normally quickly without problems and stations were not normally BIG EME guns, but so many hour calling CQ without answer, then easy qso and again pooring CQ. Sunday also Lasse OH6KTL made announce in DX cluster, that I'll take 6 sked before stop, but not any request for me.

I was not too BIG GUN in this trip, but even something I worked with IC-706 & 18el DL2WU with 150w transistor amplifier.

Next 4 hour CQ and I made set down.

Call sing with "+", please clean your information about KP51 from OH most wanted sqr in place.

Worked stations.

http://www.saunalahti.fi/~oh5lid/cgi-bin/grids

And DJ8MS, OZ1IEP,PE1HWO & SM7JUQ, please clean KP51 also from 2 m tropo map

And all other updates wellcome, and if you are not used that OH list before, wellcome to test it. Just for interest, there was 39 stations who needed KP51 2 meter MS, and I made qso with 9 of those. But my setup was not too strong, so there is meny with over 2000km QRB who need KP51 and this trip my best QRB was with DL5MCG JN58kh- 1923km.

Thanks for qsos (even I had still more free place in my logbook to your call

;)))
