First licensed in early 1959 as OH2PM.
Then I got OH1PS after changing permanent QTH in 1966.
The most recent home call is OG2P, used often in contests.

After my retirement I moved to Kiikala, Salo in 2006. The first antennas were phased verticals on 160 but they collapsed under snow and ice load during the 3rd winter when there was no-one at home to knock the ice and snow from the guywires. I was succesful to work all staes of USA before the antenna demolish. The 24 meter tower was erected during the 2nd year in this QTH. But the rotating tower was fully furnished with all antennas first in 2012.

From the year 2000 onwards I am also active at Brando, Aland Is, as OH0PM, OH0R and OG0R, mainly in contests.
Other calls issued in the past are 4O3M, BY1QH/OH2PM, DJ0KV, FO/OH1PS, OH1PS/4X, HB9HLO, S9RR, LU/OH2PM, V31PP, XX9TR, XX9TRR, YU8/OH2PM, ZA/OH2PM.
