Martti Laine, OH2BH is up to celebrate his 60th birthday among his friends. Since his friends are scattered in every corner of the world, this new concept is presented.

You just dress up for the occasion, switch on your radio, and you will find yourself at the most thrilling birthday party ever. Welcome on board!

The event will commence November 18 at 00.00 UTC and run for 48 hours until November 19, 2006 23.59 UTC - the 19th being the actual birthday. It will run on CW and SSB simultaneously, on frequencies .025 and .225, such as 14.025 and 14.225 with powerful 4O60BH stations from a 600-meter high mountain perch overlooking the beautiful Kotor Bay in Montenegro. The radio operations are led by Ranko, YT6A and Dragan, YT6Y and others from near and far.

But that's not all; you can pass your birthday wishes personally on radio since you may get an appointment at the time of your choice for 14.225 kHz by sending a request to sked-60@oh2bh.fi .The birthday party station will then call you at that exact minute. You can also send your birthday greetings through msg-60@oh2bh.fi.

But even better - following the procedures of any Asian flavored birthday party, you can obtain a lottery number for a lucky draw from any of the 4O60BH stations. A lucky draw number can be requested by a new one-off Q-code, QBH.
