Harmaja lighthouse on Market Reef waving goodbye, see you soon !!!
Finally Martti and Yuha travelling back home!

a few words from the diary of the expedition Market Reef :
”AMATEUR RADIO

Known as people in the forefront of technology and related innovations, amateur radio operators or hams have pioneered a virtual version of their global communication network all interested young people can enter with minimum entry barriers or equipment investment. This amateur radio simulator, accessible globally across the internet, offers a natural gateway for youth to join the actual hobby. But as Market Lighthouse is outside of any Nordic cellular or terrestrial internet service, the radio hams took it one step further and communicated through a satellite link using a high speed wideband connection of 15Mbit/s. Advanced global communication was at its best with all modern elements involved.

Last night was historic as the amateurs entered their virtual platform for the first time from Market Reef and communicated by voice with their counterparts on all continents. Totally more than one-hundred people, most new to the hobby, were contacted and the traffic was handled smoothly for all those involved. Voices from New Zealand, Chile and South Africa sounded as clear as if they were coming out of the loudspeakers.
