Low activity!

Well, the activity at the  moment is a little bit on the low side. Reason I don't knew. But I have sent my application for 5 Bands DXCC with endorsement for 30 m to ARRL. So, at the moment it is just waiting. I have worked 3XY1D and TX7M on several bands on both SSB and CW.
This weekend it is CQWW SSB and I will participate and operate only 10 m. Need some scores on that band. I will operate S&P mostly with the call 7S5C. As a more or less QRP (?) stn it is best to stay on S&P??!!

I have to work more on 17 and 12 m bands. Also need to put some time on 160 so I can get endorsement for my 5BDXCC.

Next prodject is a 5 Band WAZ.

Otherwise I feel like Balder. Sleepy!

Take care!!

ST0R!

Yes! The QSL for my ST0R QSO's arrived yesterday. Nice QSL and well performed operation.
Thank's to EA5RM, Antonio for supplying the QSL.

I managed to catch them on 8 band slots. So I received two QSL's.

Today is a big day!!??
Wy?
Well today I will send an application to ARRL for my 5 Bands DXCC with endorsement for 30 m ( isn't that a 6 Bands DXCC then??)! Anyway there are unfortunally QSL cards that need to be checked for 28 MHz. All other bands are via LoTW. My plan was to get all via LoTW but I still missing 9 on 28 MHz in LoTW so I have to add QSL's. That will slow the process down a bit but what the h..k! I have been waiting to achive this Award for several years so one or two more weeks don't matter to me.

Take care all of you and remember this would have been a real challange if using QRP!?

T32C

Well!
Now I have worked T32C on all bands where I have heard them. 160 might be a challange. Have not heard a sound from them on "Top-Band". Might need better receiving antennas, or...............?

SM5CBM has worked T32C on 9 out of 29 band slots

Propagation suggestions for T32C from SWEDEN or from CQ zone 14

Leaderboard stations in CQ zone 14 or SWEDEN or in EU

	6m	10m	12m	15m	17m	20m	30m	40m	80m	160m
CW
JT65
PH
RTTY
FM

But the "On Line Log" speaks for it self!! I had to shake out all spiders and insects from the microphone so I could use it for adding phone to my DXCC record for T32. So, what next?? I don't work RTTY yet but I might have to start that mode as well.

When I had the microphone out and connected I also worked TX3T on 21 MHz.
I will try to work them as TX7M and TX5A from Marquesas Isl when they move for participating in CQWW SSB part. So I guess I have to leave the microphone connected for a while.

Take care all of you readers out there

Control Panel for my new switch

I have been able to lay my hands on a Six-Pak Control Panel. I can use this panel just as it is.
I have made a small reminder so I knew when "Radio A" is in position 80 I have my 40 m GP and for "Radio B" I have Tranceiver TS-950SDX Selected. Works just fine. In the near future I will change the labeling on the Six-Pak.

Look's OK on top of my LP-100A!!

Roumers say that QSL for the ST0R operation is in the loop. But I have not received anything yet.
I vill arrange an observation post checking out my mail box!!

Take care.

SAC SSB Contest

Finally was the 2011 SAC SSB Contest over. Had a good run on 28 MHz during the first part of the contest. But then it got bad. The conditions was playing with us. I was calling and calling CQ and I did not got a pile up as I had on 28 MHz. I was using my 7S5C call. And a lot of hams have some problem with the 7 in beginning. Anyway I was able to get 441 Q's. My goal was 100 Q's per band. I managed that on 10, 15, and 20. But not on 80 and 40.

I was one of the lucky hams to catch 3D2R on 80 m!!! On one of the last day of the DXpidition I snatch them just after a few calls on CW. And it is confirmed in the ON-Line LOG. That I call a DX!!!!!!!

Now I will try to spend some time to catch T32C on some more bands. I have worked T32C on 30, 20 and 17 m all on CW.

Untill next time, take care.

3D2R QRT and T32C continue.

3D2R Rotuma is QRT. I managed to work them on 4 bands. 15, 17 and 80 m CW and 20 m SSB.
The QRM:ers have had almost X-Mas! And now they can comcentrate on T32C. This will be a challange for them as the crew of T32C will stay until 26 of October. Wonder if they all will last to the end. I mean the QRM.ers!!??

I have worked T32C on two bands so far. But as they will stay untill 26/10 there is no rush.

What else!

Well I have not managed to build a control panel for my antenna switch yet.
At the moment I'm adding radials to my 160/80 m GP. Quite time consuming.

No QSL has arived and I'm very frustrated every time I look into my mail box.

Well more radials has to be added before nightfall.

Take care all of  you.
