How much does one kilowatt weight? What kind of music
does meterband play? How thin the antenna gets when it is split into five
SDR-receivers? How much weight carrier wave can carry? Which numbers does AM
dial? Does bears poop in the forest? These and many more DX-related mysteries
will again be solved during the first two weeks of March when Team LURX will
revisit the ultimate wilderness on their World Wide Lapland Tour 2014. If any
of these questions have bothered your mind, frequent visits to this blogspot
site are highly recommended.
What comes to the intriguing title of this
DX-adventure; no, they haven´t gone through any surgeries to get their hands
shortened so that it would be easier for them to keep their hands in their pockets
while sitting and listening to SDR´s. No. At least not yet. Team LURX is this
time on the road truly shorthanded – without their irreplaceable center forward
… so this time they will definitely be even more lost than usual. Now
they have also chosen to use pseudonyms to avoid somewhat embarrassing
publicity that these adventures inevitably tend to provide leading to early termination
of employments, sudden loss of friends and relatives, frequent and persistent
contacts from the health care professionals (those nice young men in their
clean white coats) etc.
LEM343 participants are:
In the right corner, the ingenious big cat tamer, pole
vault artist and the creator of the heligopter antenna, the one and only … Mr. Valo Piiparinen !!!
Left all alone in the left corner, the master of
gee-string-theory, with the smell from hell and the ears of a turtle, hopefully
one of a kind … Mr. Marko N. Savunhaju
!!!
(Team LURX center forward Mr. Arnold Bragdens – also
called as the “Papa Lurx” - had some Arranged Blonds for these weeks and will
not be attending …)
Beginning on the 1st of March … Be there!
