I got a nice surprise on LoTW the other day with J28OO confirmed on 40M CW. That brings my total up to #224 LoTW only. I also got D4C confirmed on RTTY. Thanks. On Thursday morning I worked ID9N on 40M CW for Iota EU-017. They had a nice signal here in Norway.
When I checked Google this morning, I noticed they swapped their logo for morsecode. It read google, when clicking on the morsecode, I found that they link to Samuel F.B. Morse. He was born April 27, 1791. Check my picture here to see it, or go to Google yourself. What a nice gesture!
Last Thursday I got S04R on 20M CW, In the evening, I got 5X1NH on 40M CW for a new one (#236 40M). He had a very nice signal, just like last time I heard him, but couldn’t get through the pile-up. On Monday evening, I also worked him on 20M RTTY. I have 5X on RTTY , but not confirmed. I tried to get ET3JA on 40M a few minutes later, but he was covered by a carrier on 7009. I think the carrier came from a broadcast station. ET3JA had a strong signal, but I had trouble reading him.

Yesterday, LA7HJA and I visited Letohallen in Eidsvoll. That’s where the Norwegian Hammeeting 2009 took place this weekend. There are a variety of lectures held there, they have a big fleamarket and a few shops are represented with lots of radios and radiostuff. Also LADXG and NRRL held their annual meeting. I met lots of friends there, both old an new, and several I haven’t spoken to in a long time. I also picked up a few qslcards, the ones I got are OY/LA6FJA, JX9JKA and VK9DWX, all beautiful cards. Check out the scanned cards below.
I enjoyed the lecture by Chris DL1MGB about the 2008 VK9DWX dxpedition. It was very exciting indeed. I also attended the Low-band lecture by SM6DOI. He talked about his experience with different kinds of receiving- and transmittingantennas. In the Contestforum I held a lecture about RTTYContesting and Software. Download the lecture here (2MB pdf-file Norwegian only).
