#228 and #229 on LoTW with OD5/OK1MU and TA2ZAF


Posted: June 27th, 2009 under Hamradio, LoTW, Soundclips.

New confirmations on LoTW has been slow the last few weeks, but I got a few nice surprises. Bruno IS0GQX, Pavel OD5/OK1MU and Ted HI3TEJ gave me three new ones confirmed on 6M. TA2ZAF and OD5/OK1MU gave me two new ones on LoTW, which brings my LoTW total up to #229.

The magic band strikes yet again – #116 and #117 on 6M


Posted: June 23rd, 2009 under DX, Hamradio, Soundclips.

The fun wasn’t over yet. The band was open in the morning on Sunday with one of the strongest in-band videobuzz I’ve ever heard. I started hunting for new things to work and found EA4ZK in IN80. I also tried with UW3E on CW, but faded before I got confirmation that everything was received ok. [...]

The magic band strikes again – #114 and #115 on 6M


Posted: June 21st, 2009 under DX, Hamradio, Soundclips.

The last few days has been kinda hectic on 6M, at least with openings inside Europe. On Wednesday June 17th, the band was open when I got home in the evening. I noticed big parts of Europe working North America most of the day. I checked the band west, but no signals. When I turned [...]

Updated to WordPress 2.8


Posted: June 18th, 2009 under Homepage, Software.

Since WordPress 2.8 was released a few days ago, I quickly updated it here. No problems with the upgrade this time either, and several pluginauthors had updated their plugins too. One thing I don’t like about the new version, is how the adminsection under plugins looks like. I prefer very much the old way of [...]

#112 on 6M with C37NL


Posted: June 11th, 2009 under DX, Hamradio, LoTW.

6M has been pretty much quiet since Saturday here. Thanks to OH5LID, I still have managed to work a few new grids. On Sunday, he went to KP43 activated it. He was in KP54 the day before, and he was just as easy to work from KP43. On Tuesday, he asked if I wanted to [...]

New 6M antenna, and finally some 6M openings


Posted: June 7th, 2009 under DX, Hamradio, Propagation, Soundclips.

Last weekend I finally put the final touches to my new antenna project. With big help from LA7HJA, we raised the tower in the evening on May 30th. I exchanged my old 4 element yagi on 6M for a much bigger 7 element M2 6M7JHV. It is now about 10-11M above ground. Conditions on the [...]
