Hello Karel,

I can't say what is the reason for that, but maybe we like so much eachother :-)
Espoo has been my QTH almost 20 years, I came here from Siilinjärvi. In 70's
Siilinjärvi was almost like Espoo is now. Hannu Tikkanen lived in
Siilinjärvi also at that time and now in Espoo, of course.

Espoo is very strongly increasing beside of Helsinki and many big companies
are operating in Espoo.This place is also more wide than Helsinki, which is
"big city" in Finland. Espoo is more like countryside and many people like
to live here. There are many reasons, why people are coming to live here,
but the reasons for DXing - I don't know.

I started my DXing in 1965.

Regards and happy DXing,

Esa Hänninen from Espoo
