Despite our previous unsuccessful attempt at setting foot on Svalbard, we haven’t lost all hope and will try again in about two weeks. This time failure will not be an option.

With high hopes for good conditions, we’ll be QRV on January 24th around 15:00 UTC, until QRT the 26th around 10:00 UTC.

Operators will be Kristoffer, JW/LB0VG, and yours truly, Stian, JW/LB5SH.

No contest activity planned.

We’ll operate two radios around the clock during our stay, working SSB, CW, and FT8. For SSB we’ll max out the legal limit of 1kW, CW and FT8 we’ll top out around 3-400W to save our precious transistors.

As always – if you have difficulties working JW from your location, be it due to low power/QRP or the distance, I’m more than happy to help you out. Get in touch and we’ll arrange a sked – any mode, any band.
