I decided to give CQWW CW a go, despite being a complete noob when it comes to CW. At the current speed of 10-15 wpm I'm completely useless in a contest like this, but with a little help from skimmer software I managed to secure a few. Or, at least, that was the plan. Prior …
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 …
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 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 …
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 …
I'm QRV as OJØ/LB5SH. I've been running SSB mostly, but have also worked a few FT8 contacts. I run skeds on request, let me know. As of September 18th I'm counting just shy of 1800 QSOs and I'm having the time of my life. If you suddenly hear me pop up and answer someone else's …
I've been holding back on this for a while due to uncertainty, but now it seems promising and I've bought the tickets, so let's spill the beans once and for all. Tomorrow I'll be on my way to Stockholm, and from there I will head to OHØ Åland. The plan is to wait there until …
No wonder my cup isn't empty yet. I went on family vacation in a hurry and I left behind one imporant item. A case containing the antenna tuner, power amplifier, multiple cables, baluns, power supply, and pretty much everything I need to operate the radio except for the radio, about 5 meters worth of coax …
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 …
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 …
