Activation of Drake C-Line

I have put my old C-Line back on line. Cleaned some wafers and checked some adjustments. Found all to be within limits. R-4C has all of Sherwood Engineering modifications and the performance is super. The 600 Hz roofing filter in 1:st MF performes just fine. Wonder if there are some RX out there that can match the modified R-4C??!!

Look's OK with the MN-2000. I still have the original tubes (6JB6) in the T-4XC final and I have an output of about 150 W on all bands.

Worked TX8DD on 14 MHz last morning on LP.

No QSL this week so far???!!! Wonder if there are something wrong with my mailbox. Bills and other useless stuff ends up in the box. But no QSL!?

Keep your hart safe and and look at the WC from HL.

Low activity!

Well, hope this week will bring some new QSL cards to my collection. Have managed to work ZL4RUGBY (celebrating 2011 Rugby World Cup playing in NZ) on 30 and 20 m CW LP. This morning he was 579 and really booming into EU on 20 m.
Last night I added 3 new islands to my IOTA score. SM7DAY/P EU-138, D9A AS-026 and LR5D SA-055. Hope they will  replay on my QSL.
Othervise I feel like my daughter's dog!!

Sleeeeeeepy!!!!

Take care

Spider!

I have this friend guarding my house. It is a Garden Spider (Araneus diadematus). It is around 20 mm and very good locking, or.......................?

Anyway she (it is a she according to size, male is much smaller) catches some fly's and other insects so she can sit there and keep on doing what ever she is doing.

Nothing in my mailbox this week. So I still need some QSL for 28 MHz.

Take care out there and don't get bit by the spider!!??

Hats off for G3TXF!!!

Today I received QSL for the ZD7XF operation. I managed to work Nigel on 5 bands and I ordered QSL direct including $2. To my suprice Nigel added 2 other QSL. GR3TXF for memory of the Royal Wedding and VP2MXF. Thanks again Nigel!! You are one of my fans.

I have also managed to work ST0R on 28 MHz. One Call was all I needed!!!??? By a lottery ticket???
But now when the operation has been approved by ARRL it is a different game on 40m. And the QRM:ers are just so happy. They are really full of joy!! You can't imagine all the funny words you can hear on CW on 40m frequency 7004 KHz. But it is little difficult to hear ST0R when the QRM:ers are in full play!! But no problem as I have ST0R on 8 slots anyway. And there will be a CQWW contest in the near future. And I'm certain that there will be some activity from Suthern Sudan.
So keep your blood pressure within limits when you try to work ST0R and remember it is just a hobby and nothing is so important that the world rotates around it if you work ST0R or not!

Take care.

The Zoo around ST0R

Well, I have managed to put myself in 6 slot's on the ST0R online log. 4 CW and 2 SSB. I have lsn every last nights for 40 m but the Zoo is so absurd so I just QSY.

Yesterday I was on a trip with the local narrow track railway (891 mm) drawn by an old steam engine.

A trip of 32,6 km and max speed of 50 km/h. Long stop half way for filling water. Very nice wether and and a day well spend and very away from any radio and the ST0R Zoo.

Take care of your heart and don't get to involved in the Zoo of ST0R
