The "Alpine Ski World Championships" are held in different places in the world and there are "Special Event Stations" on the air to celebrate and memorialize them. This morning I worked my second of these "special event stations" in Austria. They will be on the air until Feburary 18th 2013.
A few days ago (Jan 18th) , I worked OE2013U in Kleinroetz Austria. This morning I worked OE2013A in St Michael Austria. I doubt I'll be able to work 10 of these stations for the "special certificate", but I'm an optimist, and always keep the possibility open.
This year a new world speed record has been set by French skier Johan Clarey. Set in Switzerland this year, he reached a speed of 100.6 mph (161.9 km/h)
I used to ski before a back injury ended this sport but I can't imagine going 100 mph on a pair of long skies. Loosing your concentration for even a split second could prove disastrous.

Very interesting John. Lindsey is not only gifted with good ski skills. She's beautifull as well. I guess there are a lot of guys that want to ski with her ;-). Nice DX again. It's incredible you can make at least a contact every day with QRP and antennas inside the house. Remarkable! 73, Bas
Hello Bas,
I myself have been surprised. Don't know how long the run will last but it's been fun so far.
How about 100 mph on skies? I don't like to drive that fast on the highway. hihi
