Lot's of snow!

No new QSL's and no new QSO's on 160 m. But I've got a lot of the hated white fluff during the passed week. I guess I have around 2' of it ( almost 50 - 60 cm ). And the wind have had some impact to create some snow drift so on some places there are only a few inches and a few feet away it might be 3'-4' of the fluff. If you want some you can come and get it for free!!??

And temp during night has been low. Last night it was -19 C ( -2 F ). And at the moment (07:00 Z) it is -10 C ( 12 F ). So there are no mosquito's outside for sure!!!
Hope the weather will turn to some milder wx soon.

So that's all for now. CUL

Late QSL and no more "blue screen"!

Yesterday I received a QSL from the Niger operation performed in 2012. Call used was 5U6E and I worked them on two missing slots. 10 and 30 m CW. And here are the proof!

Thanks to F6EXV for response after a single e-mail. Only miss 5U on 160 m. Surprised? I'm not. I have a lot to do on 160 m. But I'm getting there. If I will get all the requests I have after QSO's on 160 m I will have 100 cfm!! So to all of you out there. If you sense that you might have to do some upload to LoTW. PLS DO!!!!!

My acer windows 10 lap top is doing fine at the moment. But you never knew when some "1" and "0" are doing what they not supposed to do!!??

Wx at my QTH at the moment is -5 C ( 23 F ) and clear sky. Sun rise is 06:27 Z. 07:27 local and the Days are getting longer.

Take care! CUL

Blue screen and bun day?!

This morning I've got a blue screen on one of my windows 10 lap top. Reason not known but I managed to reload windows 10 and most of my files where still there. Had to reload microHAM sw and config for all of my programs. But it seams to be OK.

Today is a special day in Sweden. We must eat at least one of these buns called "Semla". And it is good!!!

So now I will enjoy this and the waist will grow a bit!!

Wx is warm for the time of the year. It is overcast and temp is 2 C ( 35 F ). but if the sky will clear temp will be well below freezing.

Now I will eat the bun!

Cold and No 3Y0Z

Shit! We got the White fluff back. Not so fun. And they had to abort the Bouvet expedition due to bad weather and Engine failure. Well, shit happens all the time. Nothing we can do about it.

And it is Cold outside. Temp at the moment is -15 C ( 5 F ) and sky is almost clear and sun is Rising slowly in the East.

I won a quiz Contest. And the price was this ModMic. And I had a headset without microphone. So I build an adapter (ModMic is an elektret microphone) for my Kenwood TS-590S and the mic is working just fine. Very sensitive. Had to reduce input gain quite a lot. The headset was a scrapped unit due to severe damage. Ripped of boom and all wiring was gone. I managed to glue it back to almost original status and replaced the cord. And I have to treat it with a lot of TLC to keep it together. I will look for a replacement but it will do as long as all parts sits together. Keep my fingers crossed.

And I have got some visitors. It is a pair of squirrel's eating of the sunflower seed on the ground.
Nice!

That's all for now. CUL

New Band Slot.

Missed 3C0 on 30 m. And during the 2017 DX-pedition to Annobon I worked the missing slot.
And the team of YL2GM and YL3AIW had a lot to struggle with. And there has been a lot on the Internet to read about. Here is the proof!

 

Nice card indeed!!

 

Wx here in Sweden is bad. I have got about 10 cm of the hated White fluff and it still poring down. Temp is around freezing so the snow is Heavy. And it might go on snowing during this weekend.

 

Well, Take care. CUL
