LA/AH-020 Mjærskaukollen

I visited Mjærskaukollen, LA/AH-020 for the first time on March 15. I parked along road 120 at the border between the counties Akershus and Østfold. (Position: N 59 41.485, E 011 02.262.) I was then slightly less than 2 km away and 200 meter below the summit.

Equipment used: FT-817ND and linked dipole (BandHopper III). All QSOs were made on 20 meter.

I started the activation on SSB and quickly worked 36 stations. When no more SSB-chasers called, I QSYed to the CW-part and got 29 more QSOs in the log. Totally, 65 QSOs were achieved.

DXCCs: CU, CT, DL, EA, EI, F, G, HA, HB9, I, OE, OK, ON, PA SP, UA, UA9, W.

Also remember to pick up the ceocache GCQ344.

LAFF-060 Svartskog

I made a new activation of LAFF-060 today using the same equipment as in September. 88 QSOs came in the log, mostly on 20 meter, but also a few on 40 meter. The pile-up were in periods tremendous! It was really fun!

LA/OL-100 Valsfjellet

Valsfjellet was one again activated on September 13.

All QSOs were made on 20 meter, and the conditions were quite good. The weather was really magnificent; sun, calm, and temperature around 16-17C (not bad in September for a QTH 1148 meter above sea level).

Also on this activation, all QSOs were made on 20 meter; 30 on CW and 10 on SSB. One S2S was also worked today; LA5WNA/P on LA/OL-263 Nårkampen.

DXCCs: CT, DL, EA, EU, G, HA, HB9, LA, OE, OK, PA, UU, YO.

LA/OL-088 Ormtjørnkampen

Also this year I activated LA/OL-088 Ormtjørnkampen. The summit is inside Langsua national park, LAFF-0021. Thus, the activations also counts for WWFF.

All QSOs were made on 20 meter; 34 on CW, and 11 on SSB. The conditions were quite good. On SSB, I used only 2.5 watts. Still, I was able to work SV2OXS, as well as receive 5-9 + 5dB from South East England.

DXCCs: CT, DL, EA, F, G, HB9, I, LX, OE, OK, OM, ON, PA, S5, SP, SV, UA, UU, YO.

LA/OL-186 Nylsfjellet

Nylsfjellet was activated on September 12. I parked at N 61 02.962 E 009 57.792. The trail to the summit starts a few meter south, and it is easily found.

At the summit, it is very easy to find a suitable location for erecting a pole.

All my QSO were made on 20 meter; 32 on CW, and 13 on SSB.

DXCCs: CT, DL, EA, EI, G, GM, GW, HA, HB9, OE, OK, ON, PA, SP.

LAFF-060 Svartskog

This was my first “real” WWFF activation. (Actually, I activated LAFF-021 Langsua national park when I activated LA/OL-088 Ormtjørnkampen last August. At that time I hadn't heard about WWFF.).

Svartskog is only a short drive from my home QTH (LA3F has also its QTH within its boundaries). It was a QRP operation with my FT-817 and a linked dipole. I managed to obtain 36 QSOs in the available time, mostly on 20 meter.

DXCCs: DL, EA, EU, F, HA, LA, OK, OM, ON, S5, SM, SP, UA, UA9, UR, 9A.

LB/OL-001 Storhaugen

I activated LB/OL-001 Storhaugen again this afternoon. The required four QSOs were made with my HB-1B and linked dipole.

DXCCs: EU, PA, YL, YO.
