First time under full pressure and some new IOTA
This weekend we had both Engines under full pressure. And we performed some short test runs. No major leaks and we filled them both with coal. So we are ready for the summer traffic. And here are proof!
Picture taken with my I-phone.
In between all the work with the steam Engines I have managed to work H40D from OC-179 and C96RRC from AF-088. Both are new for me. But I can tell you that H40D was week and he must have very good ears. Amazing. Quite a big pile on both of them.
Now I have to do some maintenance on my DR-650 bike. I have to check and adjust the valve clearance. To do that I have to remove frame covers, seat and fuel tank. I'm tired Before I have started.

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.

Equinox and burned parts.
Well, today the sun is over the horizon for the next 6 months over the North Pole! Equinox is here and for us up at 60 deg North the Days is getting longer. But we still have a lot of the hated White fluff on the ground. And I Think it will take to end of May before we will see the last of it. But we never knew. There might be a warm spring and the sun might do some work to help us.
Have to show you the remains of the feed through. Had to make the Picture overexposed so you all can see the burn.
Click on it to make it big.
Hope the new Cable will be better. It is not so fun when in a big pile and suddenly the SWR goes through the roof!!!
No QSL for my 160 m QSO has arrived. And it is frustrated just to sit and wait when you are so Close.
Take care all of you. CUL

A new on 160 m!
Yes! I managed to work a new one on 160 m. It was 9Y4/LY2IJ. But I had to work him twice. First QSO was busted. He got me as SM5CBN!? And when I tried to correct this my tuning unit for 160 blow up again. Same fault as Before. A full developed fire. But now I have replaced the wire with a bigger one with more isolation. Hope it will last a bit longer.
It is the blue/Orange wire. And after replacement I worked 9Y4/LY2IJ again the next day and now he got my call OK. And I was in the Club-Log and QSL is on order. This means that when I will get the QSL's on order and together with the ones I have on DXCC-On line and LoTW I will have 101 QSO's on 160 and 2003 on challenge Award.
So to you out there PLS QSL me ASAP!!!!????
WX here in Sweden at the moment is quite warm 2,5 C ( 36 F ) and the snow on my roof have started to drift as you can see on the Picture.
So if the warm temperatures will persist it will come down with a bang! Unfortunately the prediction during the rest of this week talks about colder wx again. Temps around -10 C during the following Days to come. Not good at all.
These Pictures was taken with my I-Phone.
Well, that's all for now. CUL
