Last day of 2019.

So, last day of 2019 and yesterday I've got two new IOTA confirmed. It was KL7RRC/P from NA-210. And YJ0RRC from OC-111. Now I have only 3 to achieve Honor Roll. I have more then 3 on order. But time is running out. Update to RSGB is just a few Days ahead. It is end of January 2020.
Nothing new on Club-Log!?





I'm chasing new DXCC on 160 m. This morning I worked 7X7X and hopefully it will be confirmed on LoTW.

WX here in Sweden is strange! Yesterday it was 8 C and that is warm for this time of the year. At the moment temp is 3,5 C ( 38 F ) and clear sky. Normally this time of the year we should be way below freezing.

Well HNY to all readers and CU in 2020.

RSP1A from SDRplay

Don't like the SM-5000 band scope to much. Hard to see and use. So I got my hands on an RSP1A and connected it to the 9 MHz out in the back of the FTdx5000. And I use SDRuno SW. And what a different story of band scoops with a nice waterfall. I have a better overview of the band's now. In the Picture I'm looking at 160 m.



Nice! Always fun with some new gadgets.

WX here in Sweden is very warm for the season. Temp just now is -3 C ( 26,5 F) and a clear sky. Had some snow yesterday but that is all gone. But there are still long time to go until I can start riding my bikes!!??

Three more band slots

Just received QSL from the Saint Pierre & Miquelon operation in October this year. Call used was TO80SP and I managed to work them on Three new band slots, 160, 80 and 30 m. And here are the proof.


Looks like a nice Place. And this adds to my low band score a bit!

Have been testing my new antenna for low band and the result is super. Worked 10 new DXCC on 160 m and it is fun to break quite big pile-ups.

On IOTA front there are still 4 to go. But I have request's out. Just hope to get QSL in due time for the annual update.

WX here in Sweden is up and down. One day it is some snow on the ground and -7 C. Next it is owercast and rain and temp +4 C!
