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, a packet radio mailbox and digipeaters.

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.

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
EQUIPMENTHF-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.
