First activation LA/HE-475

Just finished two weeks vacation up north in JP66, and accidentally found a nearby summit that never had been activated before. Åkvikfjellet, LA/HE-475, was successfully activated with 27 QSOs. I could have done many more, but for those of you who have met me in person will now nod understandingly, knowing that I cannot function…

Friedrichshafen 2026

Picture a Norwegian guy that feels 15°C is a comfortable summer temperature, and starts sweating uncontrollably and complain when it gets above 20°C.

3YØK QRT, but I’m alive

3YØK is QRT. We’ve been to Hell and back, trust me, you have no idea. Before you get all excited, this is not a post pictures. It will come later, so consider this a teaser. Ok, fine, you can have one: 102k+ QSOs in the log. On the air 24/7, with the exceptions of fuelling…
