Spring Equinox has passed

Equinox have passed so now the sun has start shining on the North Pole the whole day!
Not so much new things here. Have been chasing a few DX such as VP8PJ, TI9A, 9J2LA, and VP2VB with various results. And I have worked around 20 new DXCC on 160 since installation of the new vertical antenna. Have to show you some SWR curves of the antenna.


This is 160 m. and it is quite narrow. 1:2 is between 1810 to 1845 KHz and that is quite nice.


And this is 80 m. And it is quite wide here. And with this adjustment I cover 3500 and up to 3650 KHz. So I'm very satisfied with the performance over all.

WX here in Sweden is around freezing and some light snow in the air. But when the sun comes out it gets around 10 to 15 C in the sun. And that is nice. Have been drinking coffee outside several day's now. And no Corona here in the forest so far.
