New one on 160 and some nice colours

This morning I managed to work  one of two missing UK calls on 160 m. It was MD0CCE, Isle of Man. The remaining call is GU, Guernsey and I will Catch that prefix eventually. Mode was FT8.

Have worked 9X0T on a few slots. Called him this morning on 40 m CW. But no QSO. And the normally Lid's was calling on DX frequency despite he was signing "UP" after every QSO!!!???

Had to take a Picture of a very nice tree due to colours of autumn.

And, Yes! There is a cow in the bottom of the Picture.

Back to Radio. CUL

Just passed equinox and first frost.

Well, it is down hill the next few months ahead. We have just passed equinox and it will get darker for every minute now on! This morning I had to get the ice scraper to clear the window of my car.

So I have to check my Winter tires ASAP.

But I have got the first of 4 bags of Wood. So I have to load it into my shed so it will be kept out of the rain that eventually will come.

It is about 1,5 cubic meters of Birch Wood. I have about 4 cubic meters of fur and pine Wood and with the additional 3 bags I'm good for the coming Winter.

On the radio front not so much. I have worked RI0B from AS-087. And that was a new one for moi!

Well, that's all for now. CUL

Some more rare IOTA's and my last preheat.

On Saturday I will have my last preheat of a steam Engine as a Foreman. That's include loading coal and water of the small BLJ4 "Långshyttan". It is from 1897 and in mint condition. And here it is last Sunday at Marielund during shunting.

The shadow is moi!!!

Last week we had a terrible rain shower at the Station. And after it had passed we Catch sight of this good-looker in the sky.

IOTA's! Well back to the nice confirmation I received yesterday. It was from Russian Robinson Club 25th anniversary. First one was C96RRC from AF-088, Mozambique Isl.

And the second one was C98RRC from AF-066, Inhaca Isl. So thanks to the team RZ3K, RA1ZZ, RK8A, RN3BZ and R7AL for adding to my IOTA score. And I'm now up to 538 Isl confirmed. Thanks!!

Well, That's all for now. CUL
