LA/OS-003 was visited again today, while it is still possible to obtain winter bonus. It was supposed to be a short activation before work. It didn't exactly turn out that way.
I decided to start to work on 30 meter. One QSO came quickly in the log. Then nothing happened for a long while. I QSYed to 40 meter. 25 minutes after the first QSO, the second QSO was logged. No more chasers were on 40, so I QSYed to 20 meter. QSO no three was logged 9 minutes after the second. And then, no chasers replied. I did try many calls on SSB, but it did not result in any QSO, so I went back to CW, and the fourth QSO was in the log 30 minutes after the third. Thus, it was 63 minutes between the first and the fourth QSO!! I did some more calls on 20 meter, but no chasers showed up. Before I went QRT, I decided to make some final calls on 30 meter, and this time the chasers were at the frequency. 16 QSOs were made in relatively few minutes.

LA/OL-043 Buhammaren
LA/OL-043 was activated earlier today – for
the first time using snowshoes. Beautiful weather and temperature around 8C made
this to a pleasant stay at the summit.
I had planned to operate on both SSB and CW,
and I started on SSB (after a self-spotting). Many minutes later and no QSOs, I
checked the Solar-Terrestrial data on www.qrz.com, and it revealed that the conditions
seemed to be poor and far from QRP friendly. I thus QSYed to the CW part.
Conditions on 20 meter was indeed poor – around 30 minutes of calling did only
result in 8 QSOs. However, 30 meter was in a much better shape (even though
www.qrz.com didn’t indicate this…). 23 QSOs were in the log in relatively short
time.
