LA/OL-184 Kvitberget

Kvitberget is also a summit I visit once a year. The rig and antenna were KX-2 and linked dipole. The conditions were good, and I got 30 QSOs in the log in just a little more than 30 minutes. I then QSYed to 40 meter and called for North Hunt stations which resulted in 20 more QSOs. In total, 50 QSOs (7 CW, 43 SSB).

LAFF-0677, NO-3087 Rykkhustjønnin

The next area to operate from was Rykkhustjønnin. Here, there are many convenient places to operate from. As for Hundorp, I used the KX-2 and the Chinese whip-GP. The conditions har improved a little bit, and I got 22 QSOs in the log, all on 20 meter, 15 CW, 7 SSB. This means I have to come back also to this area in order to fulfill the WWFF requirement of 44 QSOs.

LAFF-0090, NO-0850 Hundorp

Near Hundorp, the center of Sør-Fron municipality, there are two nature reserves. Today, I visited both of them. Most of Hundorp is quite close to the river Gudbrandsdalslågen, but there are a few places where it is convenient to operate. I used the KX-2 and the Chinese whip-GP. The conditions were relatively poor, but I got 15 QSOs, all on 20 meter, 4 CW, 11 SSB. This means I have to come back in order to fulfill the WWFF requirement of 44 QSOs.

LA/OL-200 Segalstadsæterkampen

Same procedure as last years. I parked at the same place, I hiked the same paths, I put the antenna up at the same place, … I start working on 20 meter and got 10 stations in the log. Next, I QSYed to 30 meter, which resulted in 3 more QSOs. Finally, I QSYed to 40 meter, and called for Northern Hunt stations which resulted in 8 more QSOs. In total, 21 QSOs from 11 DXCCs, 7 on CW, 14 on SSB.

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.
