The weather is cool, I would say 18 degrees centigrade, cloudy.

My doctoral dissertation is approaching completion -- ie, the defence of
the thesis. See

Rastafarian guerrillas running amok on Helsinki streets and gardens
:-)))))) See Bob Marley and the Wailers.....

Helsinki is a very green city, a Central Park runs thru the suburbs and
the northern part of the centre of the town. Here where I live it is
like living in a summer residence the year round..... And there are
several parks right in the middle of the town.

Took my Drake R8E from the package where it was lying on the floor,
threw a 10-meter long L antenna onto the jasmines in our garden, and
started to listen. I also often listen to the éton e1 on the lawn of
our garden....

kind regards, Antti Ylikoski
Helsinki, Finland, the EU

Sounds like a beautiful place! How about the winters? The humidity? I
can tell you that South Florida is a green sweatbox almost all year
long. Can't wait for us to get out of here.
