I've got an e-mail!

I received an e-mail from RZ3EC, Eugene with thanks for support of IOTA Expedition to AS-082. And there was a Picture included and I like to share this with all of U.


And, Yes I did support the Russian Robinson Club for this IOTA. But this was a nice surprise. Hat of for the RRC gang and thanks!!!

Worked Vlad as RI0KV, AS-027. A new one for me. And I have worked Vlad, UA4WHX from a few new IOTA's in the North Passage where he had appeared from a lot of new (for moi) IOTA's. It will be some job to collect the QSL's. But they will be nice to collect as Vlad has Always had very nice cards.

Well that's all for now. CUL

One ( 1 ) QSL received!!!

Wow! I have received a QSL!. It was 3G0ZG, Juan Fernandez Island. Worked them on a few missed band slots. Missing only on 160 m and 17 m. Nice card as you all can see.


But I've got it confirmed on LoTW for some time ago. So this will not be included in the upcoming "List of Shame".

It is raining a lot and some thunderstorms can be Heard in distance. But hopefully no near lightning so far.

Have chased Vlad, UA4WHX and worked him from AS-028 and this morning AS-029.

Well, that's all for now. CUL

Last traffic day for this season!

Well, here are some Pictures from the last day for the museum train season 2015. Now starts the work of maintaining all the carriages and locomotives. First out is the 1897 style with carriages and steam Engine in correct time style. Just ready to leave Faringe station for Uppsala city..
Nice!!


Second is the 1909 style approaching a station called Marielund. A lot happened during the years as you can see. Totally different style of the steam Engine.


Click and enjoy the Pictures.

So hopefully there will be some time over for radio. I'm still waiting for a lot of IOTA QSL cards that I have ordered via OQRS. I will make a list of shame soon if nothing positive happen like that I will start to receive some QSL's!!!!!

CUL!

Very Low Activity due to Active Sun!!!

Well, most of the time, we up here in the North, are suffering from Aurora Borealis. Almost total radio blackout. I have been trying to chase UA4WHX on his trip in the Northern Sea Route. So far I have managed to Catch him on two Islands. AS-005 ans AS-042. But most of the time I have spent with the radio Aurora has killed most of the signals.
I have been spending most of my time as a break man on the museum train. But this Sunday is the last traffic day for the season.

Have to show you all Pictures of two of my rare keys. One is the Vibroplex Vibro Keyer (pink base) single paddle from the late 1960's and the marble base hand key is very old. I don't knew how old. But it is a beauty to use.


Click on the Picture and enjoy!!

That's all for now. CUL
