LA/OL-263 Nårkampen

I had the opportunity to make a short activation at Nårkampen on September 16. This is also a summit where it is very easy to erect antennas. I used my linked dipole, and chose the same strategy as for Kvitberget yesterday. I got 2 QSOs on 40 meter, 7 on 30 meter, and 3 on 20 meter.

LA/OL-184 Kvitberget

Kvitberget is located close to Feforkampen. It’s only a short walk from the parking, and it’s easy to erect antennas. Therefore, I used my linked dipole. Because of the poor 20 meter propagation at LA/OL-181, I started the activation on 40 meter. 8 QSOs came in the log. I then QSYed to 30 meter, and got 7 QSOs. Finally, I made some calls on 20 meter, and got 2 QSOs.

LAFF-181 Feforkampen

Feforkampen was activated once more – almost same procedure as the last activations. The only difference was that I chose to operate on 20 meter only. The reason was simply that at this particular summit it is much easier to erect a GP than a (linked) dipole (an end-fed antenna could have been an alternative). This could have been a good idea if the 20 meter had been in good shape. It wasn’t. 45 minutes with CQ did only result in six QSOs.
