FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FROM HELSINKI, FINLAND
MAY.18.2020
A HAPPY FAMILY REUNION AT HELSINKI AIRPORT MAY 16, 2022
The well-known DXpeditioner Alex, UT5UY has reunited with his family in
Finland
The war in Ukraine has become a heavy weight for the whole world and
amateur radio operators alike. It was seventy-seven (77) days ago when
Ukrainian amateur radio operators went off the air and have begun being
worried about their families? safety and future. A month in the bomb
shelter has affected Alex, UT5UY family and son tremendously and it
became clear that only one option remained for Alex: to send his family
overseas to safety while Alex remained in Ukraine defending his homeland.
This is the time when the ham community got together to help rescue his
family and provide them with a reasonable life outside Ukraine.
With the war continuing and with no end in sight, Alex, with a special
permit, came to Finland to join his family. You can easily notice his
family?s happy faces at the Helsinki airport upon Alex?s arrival. After
a 50 days hiatus, they came here to assess whether they could start a
new life in the North Republic of Finland.
A NEW LIFE IS BEGINNING
Alex arrived in Finland with only one suitcase and his laptop computer,
the same as his wife Sasha forty-five (45) days earlier. Their son Daniel,
12yo is now in the school in Finland and his wife Sasha is busy taking
two language courses simultaneously. With the high education from Ukraine
their potential for a new beginning looks very good. Alex already received
his new Finnish radio license at the airport and you will soon be able
to hear OH5UY QRV.
It was amateur radio that has helped Alex?s life improve for the better.

Amateur Radio is a unique passion but is not a detached one. Wherever
the world is heading, amateur radio always follows. When we see our own
in need we should be able to stand up and get involved; both in good
times and bad times. So let?s unite now and show our mighty power!
The moment we hear Alex is back on the air and on the DXpeditioning trail
we will know we have succeeded!
Thank You,
Adrian, KO8SCA, Martti, OH2BH, Pasi, OH2MZB, Pekka, OH2TA and Timo, OH5LLR
