LAFF-0316, NO-1731 Rullestadtjern

I needed more QSOs in order to fulfill the 44 QSO requirement. Thus, I headed out. I used the KX-2 and a MP-1 antenna once again. The conditions were good, and I got 24 QSOs from 12 DXCCs on 10 and 15 meter (1 on SSB and 23 on CW).

DXCC: DL, EA, F, HA, HB9, I, LZ, OH, OM, S5, UR, W.

LA/OS-003 Tryvannshøgda

SOTA Norway had an activation from LA/OS-003 on March 11, and I attended. Really fun. And of course I also activated the summit. Four QSOs, all on 40 meter CW.

DXCC: EA, F, G, GW

LAFF-0064, NO-1330 Midtsjøvann

I had the opportunity to activate Midtsjøvann. As for the last activations, I used a KX-2 and a MP-1. I started on 17 meter, then QSYed to 15, meter, then to 12 meter, and finally 10 meter. I ended up with 29 QSOs from 14 DXCCs. All on CW. It must be mentioned that I worked EA2DT, Manuel on all four bands!

DXCC: CT, DL, E7, EA, G, HA, I, LY, OH, OK, ON, S5, SP, UR.

LAFF-0060, NO-2581 Svartskog

 

I decided to head out for a short activation from Svartskog. I used a KX-2 and a MP-1. The conditions were good. I started on 10 meters, and got two QSOs only, both from UR. I then QSYed to 20 meter and got 30 QSOs, all on SSB. In total 13 DXCCs.

DXCC: DL, EA, HA, I, LX, OH, OM, ON, S5, SP, UR, W, 9A.

LAFF-0316, NO-1731 Rullestadtjern

This was my first activation of Rullestadtjern. It was dark, a lot of vegetation, and relatively wet soil. In order words, a place it is no reason to visit if it hadn’t been an “interesting” QTH. I used the KX-2 and a MP-1 antenna. The conditions were good, and I got 24 QSOs from 12 DXCCs on 10 and 15 meter (1 on SSB and 23 on CW).

DXCC: DL, EA, F, HA, HB9, I, LZ, OH, OM, S5, UR, W.

LAFF-0544 / NO-2280 Trolldalen

I visited Trolldalen once again this afternoon. 20 QSOs from 11 DXCCs on 40, 30, and  17 meter came in the log in a relative short time. KX-2 and SuperAntenna MP-1 was used. All CW.

DXCC: DL, EA, I, OH, OM, PA, S5, SP, UA, UT, 9A.

NO-2545 Sandvedparken

Sandvedparken is the first urban park I have activated. I planned to use KX-2 and AX-1. However, I didn’t know if I could trust this little antenna. Thus, I had a plan B (MP-1) and plan C (linked dipole). It was a little slow progress in the QSO-rate, but after 50 minutes I had the 10 needed QSOs in the log, all on 20 meter CW. Even though the AX-1 is a compromise antenna, it’s no doubt that it is quite effective.

DXCC: F, SP, EU, HB9, OE, W.
