New rare IOTA received.

Just got AF-037 Banana Isl (9L0W) confirmed. QSL was via DK2WV. Nice card!


So this pushed my IOTA score up one more point. Still a lot to do here. Isn't she nice looking?? Click on the picture to make it larger.

Made an update of my DXCC status by the new On-Line update and also a LoTW update. Ordered a 17 m sticker for my 5BDXCC. Itis now a 7BDXCC!! Also ordered a DXCC Award for 17 m.

Still a lot of CB's activiity (with CB I mean the enormous cloud that can make a lot of noice and rainfall) with Thunderstorms most every day. Prediction for tomorrow is just rain showers. But I belive it when I see it.

So take care all of you readers out there.

Back home again.

I'm back home after a short visit down to the city of Varberg in the southwest part of Sweden. Checking the mail I found only one (1) QSL card. But it was a very nice one. 6O0CW that I worked on  several band slots.


QSL via I2YSB. Looks hot to me!

Here in Sweden it is raining and a lot of thunderstorms every day. Wonder when we will get some summer.

Ordered a QSK bord (just the printed circuit bord) from W7RY yesterday. I will do some mod to my TL-922 so I don't need ear protection due to noisy relay's that are standard in this AMP. This mod completly change the bias and the relay's to a fast reed relay for the input and a vaccum relay for the output.

Take care all of you readers out there and remember that life is to short for QRP!!!

Off-Line for some time.

I have been in the south of Sweden for some time now. That's the reason for no updates on this blogg. But I have to show some activity. I have been taking care of one horse, one dog. But I have also taking some time and visited the Long Wawe radiotransmitter Grimeton. Here we are talking QRO! And the freqency 17,5 KHz!!! See the picture of feedpoint to the enormous 6 masts with a hight of 127 m.


But any way I'm alive and still kicking and the thumb is still there.

Take care and CUL!
