LAFF-0060, NO-2581 Svartskog

I had bought a 40 meter coil to my “China whip”. Once more I activated Svartskog. First on 20 meter, and then on 40 meter. I ended up with 28 QSOs on 20, and 4 on 40; 22 on CW, and 10 on SSB. Among them, it was a P2P (DLFF-0325). The 40 meter coil worked very well.

NO-2617 Ellingsrud friluftsområde

NO-2617 was a new pota reference which I decided to activate. I used the KX-2 and the MP-1. Usually, this is a good combo. Unfortunately, the conditions were quite poor today. I got 3 QSOs on 20 meter SSB easily, but then everything stopped. I needed two more hours(!) in order to complete the activations. These 7 QSOs, all CW, were worked on 20, 17, 15, and 40 meter.

LAFF-0060, NO-2581 Svartskog

I had ordered a new antenna from China, a 5+ meter whip. Thus, it is possible to have a ¼ GP from 20 meters and up. It would obviously be fun to try it, and I headed out to Svartskog with this antenna and the KX-2. The antenna worked very well, but the conditions were far from great. Nevertheless, I ended up with 12 QSOs on 20 meter, all CW.

DXCC: DL, G, GI, HB9, I, OM, SP, UA, W, 9A.

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.
