A trip to Hell
No, not your mother-in-law's house. Thanks to Ola, LA1WPA (who is also the station manager of LA1K) for telling us about a town in his country that should be near and dear to all club members' heart. In fact, he and his club won the October Sprint operating from this town. Click here to visit Hell, Norway.
