Lots of Tunderstorms!

During the last few Days I have had a lot of TS. Last night there was a flash and thunder within less than 0,5 sec. And as sound travel at approx 450 m/s it was quite Close. Around 200 m away. Fortunately I had disconnected all antennas and also my Internet gateway so all is still functional. I can show you one of the CB's on a Picture. It looks quite small. But a few minutes later it made a lot of lighting and thunder.


Nice Picture,  or..........??!!

I'm wonder when my 8BDXCC will become a 10BDXCC! I'm working on it, but 6 m is slow. I have 56 confirmed and about 65 worked. On 160 it is a different story. I have 85 confirmed and over 100 worked so I have to Watch my mailbox and check Buro and Hope I will get some more confirmed.


As you can see there are two stickers missing. 160 m and 6 m. I will continue to search for new ones.

CUL!

No QSL and sun is very active!

The sun has been very Active and the conds from 60 deg North has not been good. I have seen K-index up to 8 from a station in Norway. And that is high. At the moment K-index is around 3 in Dombås and 4 in Tromsö. Was lsn for a E51 on 20 m but he was just a whisper here. I have to Little aluminium in the air!!??

During this weekend I have worked as a brakeman on the museum railroad. I include a Picture of the old steam engine BLJ4. It was manufactured in 1897 (!) so it is quite old. It is small but strong.


Nice ride!!??

The summer has been here for 3 Days. During these Days we had around 30 deg C ( 86 F ). But now it is as usual in Sweden. This morning around 0500 local time I had just 5 C ( 41 F ). And that is Cold.
