Ham meeting 2023

On 2023-03-21 By lb5shIn General updatesLeave a comment

I will attend the annual Norwegian Ham Meeting 2023, held in Jessheim Is- og flerbrukshall near the Gardermoen Airport. The main purpose is to meet up with other DXers and discuss future opportunities, as well as socializing and mingling with other crazy amateur radio operators out there. If you want to say hello, you know …

CQWW Summary

On 2022-11-03 By lb5shIn General updatesLeave a comment

CQWW SSB 2023 is over, and I assisted my club the best I could. We struggled with terrible conditions on Saturday, but did our best and worked 160-10m with four operators. I logged about 500 of the 2000+ QSOs we got. Fingers crossed for better conditions next year! Unfortunately our Expert 1.5k-FA PA decided its …

CQWW SSB 2022

On 2022-10-24 By lb5shIn General updatesLeave a comment

It's that time of year again. Prepare your ears and forget about getting any sleep, it's CQWW SSB time! I will be joining my club and be active as LN2T from CQ zone 14. We will start planning operator shifts soon, but I will probably opt for the evening/night shifts like I've done earlier. My …

Logs uploaded, some minor issues

Logs have been uploaded to QRZ.com, and will be synced with LoTW shortly. If you are looking for QSL cards, please forward your requests to EA5GL. I bumped into a bit of problems with my logs, and accidentally got the wrong time stamp on the first batch. Deleting all the QSOs from QRZ.com is a …

OJØ/LB5SH QRT

On 2022-09-262022-09-26 By lb5shIn General updatesLeave a comment

It has been an exhausting week with very little sleep, extreme weather, antennas blowing down, shack RFI, QRM, condx going up and down, and whatnot. When I got back home I slept for 10 hours straight, and could easily sleep for 10 more. Here are some photos from our trip. Loading the boat On our …

IOTA, SOTA quota

On 2022-07-142022-07-14 By lb5shIn Contests, General updatesLeave a comment

Okay, let's both ignore my horrible attempt of a wordplay in the title, and rather dig into what's happened, and up for the upcoming month. It's been a few busy months with very little activity. I'm still a bit bummed that the JX Jan Mayen expedition got cancelled, but I'm on a constant lookout for …

POTA, SSA (w/LA1K)

On 2022-05-232022-05-23 By lb5shIn General updatesLeave a comment

Yesterday I had the pleasure of working with Akademisk Radioklubb (ARK) as LA1K/P in the Swedish portable test, SSA Portabeltest. LA1K mainly worked the 80m and 40m bands for the contest, while I kept a third station busy by calling CQ POTA on 20m. We managed to get Festningeparken a POTA id and did the …

JX/LB5SH 2022 cancelled

On 2022-05-062022-05-06 By lb5shIn General updates7 Comments

I received a message from the operator, literally minutes ago, informing me that the planned trip to Jan Mayen is cancelled due to a lack of passengers. This is a decision I fully understand, and it's beyond their control. They said they will try again same time next year, and I'm already on the booking …
