I am still here


Posted: July 2nd, 2024 under Hamradio.

I know I haven’t updated this page in a long time. I always have it in the back of my mind to do something about it, but then never actually get around to doing it. There are many reasons to why, and instead of coming up with a lot of boring excuses, I’ll just say that life is busy, and I mainly work radio during the summer when 6m season peaks.

I have taken up several other hobbies besides hamradio. I have been a licenced radio amateur for nearly 30 years, and motivation will go up and down, which is perfectly normal in my eyes.

Programming software has taken up more and more of my time the last few years. I have been contributing heavily to a hamradio logging software called Cloudlog. Early this year, we forked Cloudlog and made Wavelog. You can check it out at wavelog.org.

Another hobby that is also taking up a lot time, specially during the summer, is flying fpv (first person view) drones. It’s the closest you can come to fly yourself, or to fly like a bird. I am a member of a local drone club, and we met up every once in a while to fly and have fun. This has led to yet another hobby, which is 3d printing. When building drones, it’s nice to have a printer to make some parts for your frames.

I will try to update more on this page. The logsearch is updated, and my logs are always updated on LoTW (now that it is finally back, after many weeks of downtime).

JW8AJA log update


Posted: December 3rd, 2022 under Contesting, DX, Dxpedition, Hamradio, LoTW.

I’ve uploaded the contest log to CQWW. The logsearch page here is updated, and the log was also updated on Club Log.

Since the contest deadline has passed, I’ve uploaded the log from my 2022 trip to LoTW today.

Radio summary 2021


Posted: December 2nd, 2022 under 6M, Hamradio, Iota.

This page has been seriously neglected for several years. I would like to do something about that, but as I’m not really working too much radio, I would need to write about some other stuff that I’m doing as well. I’ve been doing a lot of programming, and I’ve been contributing to open source software. I’ll write more about that in another post.

Here is a short summary from 2021, so that I’m up to date with that before 2022 is over.

I worked 3 new countries on 6m in 2021.

Site was down for a few days!


Posted: November 5th, 2021 under Homepage.

I just noticed today that the page was down. My host updated to PHP8 a few days ago, and it turns out, that some of the stuff I use here, is not compatible with PHP8. I managed to get the page working again by deactivating a few plugins, updating another plugin, and updating the theme. Guess that really is a kick in the behind to update the theme and plugins to something newer.

Distance records for LA/JW/JX


Posted: April 11th, 2021 under Hamradio.

I’ve added a few new pages here. They contain a list of distance records on different bands on different propagation modes. They are far from complete, but hopefully I’ll add some more info when people contribute with information. Thanks to LA0BY for giving me a push to get these lists online.
