LAPUA RADIO CLUB 
was founded in 
1962 by members of Lapua High School Physics Club. 

There are nowadays 41 members in the club from Lapua and the nearby district.

OH6AC is located high on the top of  Hill Simpsiö at 130 meters which provides ideal circumstances for amateur radio activities on UHF, VHF and HF-bands. Besides an HF-amateur radio station the club  maintains two FM-repeaters.



The club house was built in 1970.   It´s been repaired and reconstructed  over the past few years.

 



Roof and wall construction 





2 more 14 MHz antennas were built in October, 2005
OH6CS assembling elements and OH6MMC with OH6IQ making final adjustments  before raising the antenna.













ANTENNAS


28 MHz
4-element rotatable yagi at 39m. (120 ft.)

21 MHz 

4-element rotatable yagi at 39m. (120 ft.)
4-element yagi  fixed on North America  at 24m.
4-element yagi fixed on Europe at 18m.
The upper 2 yagis can  be used as a phased 
array into NW-direction (North America).  
WX0B Stackmatch is used to split power and switch
different antenna combinations. 


14 MHz
4-element rotatable yagi at 36m.(110 ft)
4-element yagi  fixed on North America  at 24m.
3-element yagi fixed on Europe at 16 m.
The upper 2 yagis can  be used as a phased  array 
into NW-direction (North America).  WX0B Stackmatch is used to split power and switch different antenna combinations. 


for 10, 18 and 24 MHz there is a horizontal dipole at 30 m. 
Inverted V- dipole antennas are used on 3.5 and  7 MHz 
and a half-sloper on 1,8 MHz.

For 144 MHz, there are 2 x-15-el. yagis and for 430 MHz, 2 x 19-el.yagis 
at 36m. 50 MHz is operated with a vertical ground-plane

EQUIPMENT
HF-station at OH6AC consists of  Kenwood TS-940S transceiver and Frontier SB-4000S 1 kW linear amplifier.

HF-contests are operated mainly with Kenwood TS-850S and Yaesu Mark V transceivers.  TRLog is used as a logging software with a Toshiba laptop computer.

Icom IC-790E is used on 144 and 430 MHz bands.
