Low activity at the moment.

Not so much activity at the moment. Reason is that I'm waiting for the update to ARRL DXCC. But I have worked Cezar (VE3LYC) from H44R OC-168. And now I'm waiting for them to go to OC-179 with the call H40D. Seen them spotted as H44R/P.

Spring is here. All of the White fluff is more  or less gone. Lots of bird's has arrived and I can show you two Pictures taken with my I-phone.

First I will show you all a bunch of Whoopers.

Whoopers is a swan we call a singing swan. Not so common that they stop for lunch in this part of Sweden.

Next is a bird that can wake you up in the morning with a loud trumpet blast. It is a Crane.

Sharpness is not so good as I used my I-phone and not my Nikon. But here you are.

Well, back to radio!

Yes! I'm home!

Now I have 101 confirmed QSO's on 160 m. Today XT2AW fell down into my mailbox. So now it is time to apply for a 160 DXCC!! And here are the proof! Hat off for QSL mgr M0OXO. He understand the Word "Direct"!!

Nice eh!

And I also qualify for Challenge 2000 level. So this will cost some $$$. But what the h..k! You only lives once!
I have started the paperwork.

Still no spring.  It is around freezing outside and some Cold rain is falling. And tonight it will start to snow again!!

Struggling on 160 and Steam Engine fixed.

Well, still no new QSL for QSO's on 160. It is hard to just sit and wait. The QSL I have on order is the following: 9Y4/LY2IJ, XT2AW are both ordered via Pay-Pal. J79WTA ordered via letter. Hopefully I will get them Before next 160 season!!!????

I have been calling and chasing some other stations on 160 m. Sutch as HH. But they don't hear me from 60 deg North. Soon I will start to monitoring 50 MHz and try to achieve a DXCC on the Magic Band. So I will jump from Top Band to the Magic Band!!

But I have also been working hard at the Steam Engine stable. And here you can see the result!

All the maintenance have been carried out and it is ready to Go!

Wx is still very Cold during night. But during daytime it is on the plus side. But the prediction for the coming week is temperatures in region of 10 - 15 C and some rain. X my fingers.
