Toistimiin

Toistimiin is a Finnish word that translates to "to the repeaters" or "for the repeaters." It is most commonly used in the context of amateur radio (ham radio). In amateur radio, repeaters are devices that receive a radio signal on one frequency and retransmit it on another frequency, at a higher power. This allows amateur radio operators to communicate over much longer distances than would otherwise be possible. The phrase "toistimiin" is often used by operators to indicate they are attempting to communicate via a repeater, or to ask if others are using a particular repeater. It signifies a connection to the network of repeaters that extend the reach of amateur radio communication. The use of repeaters is a fundamental aspect of ham radio operations, especially for those operating from mobile platforms or in areas with limited line-of-sight propagation. It's a common piece of jargon within the Finnish ham radio community.
