YES! A very rare event just happened!!

I have just received FT5ZM, Amsterdam Island. IOTA AF-002 and a new DXCC entry (for me). Worked this DXpedition on all bands and modes. So I filled the whole line on my DXCC Chart. SUPER!

OK! I have to admit that I have received it already on LoTW. But this card is so needed to fill the gaps in my DXCC Book. An for sure it is needed for IOTA as RSGB still need cards as proof of QSO! Wonder when they will get into the digital World (a system like the LoTW).

I still have 19 to go for DXCC. But I guess some of them will not happened in this Life!!?? Who will go to Peter the 1:st to get me a QSO?
Well I didn't Think so!! But I still like to operate the ham bands and you never knew when a new one will show up some day!!

Click on the Picture and enjoy!

Not so much radio for the moment!

There has not been so much radio at the moment. Here are some Pictures of the items that have taken the focus away from the radio!!

First this thing!

YES! My lawn cutter!

Second this piece of art manufactured 1909!!

It takes 8 to 10 hours to get 12 Kg pressure from Cold!! Using Wood for starting up slow. And when ready for traffic cross over to coal. But it is a fine piece of steam locomotive.

So this is the reason for low activity on my blog.

But I will come back soon!!??

Still low activity from me!

I have been "baby-sitting" my daughter's dog for a while. As you can see on the first Picture he is having a Close Watch of my neighbour doings! Balder don't miss a movement.

And he also has to relax on his back!! He must feel safe to do this.

On the radio I have been chasing ARRL Centennial QSO Party. I have passed the fantastic sum of 1400 Points. And I will continue to chase.

We had some TS yesterday. And when they had passed I reconnected Everything and start to Watch some TV. After about 15 minutes of watching I got a Power surge and a flash in one of the outlets and then the Power was gone for more than 2 hours. When the Power was restored I started to check every thing sutch as Internet gateway and some other Electronics. All was fine except my TV HD Box. The Box had gone fishing for good!!! And the TS was not even near to my Place. But still I got a strong Power surge that killed my HD Box. Well that's something I have to live with here in the open space. Cost for a new Box was 1500:- Sek.

Well that's all for now. CUL
