The end for SJ7SOP?

As some of you know I have the yearly tradition of participating in the Sea Of Peace award activities with the SJ7SOP-callsign. I´ve been doing this since 2013 but now some three year later It seems like the call might never be aired again. The Swedish Post and Telecom authorities, PTS, is about to extend...

In the mail..

Time for a update!  Been quite inactive, again, on the blog. Why is it so hard to just write sometimes? 🙂 Well, the fact that I´ve made a jump start on the work front after the vacation with a TON of mail and things to do have probably contributed to the fact that I didn't want...

SOP Results..

So, now the month of July has come to an end and It´s time to see if I´ve managed to reach my goals of 400+ QSO:s. Sadly, this year I only made 180 QSO:s in the log and the reason for this is mainly that my vacation was late this year, leaving not much time for...

SJ7SOP – progress & news..

It has now been three days into the SJ7SOP activity and It feels good to to air the callsign again! During the first days I´ve mainly been active on 40, 30 and 20m on JT-modes and there is around 50 stations worked in the log. This early in I´m actually only a few points away...

SJ7SOP, so it begins..

Today is the first day in the month of July and it's time to activate the SJ7SOP call. Yesterday evening was spent configuring the logbook and software settings in the station computer to be ready to work some stations tonight. Sadly I didn't manage to get my vacation during the complete month but I'll do...

Because of the late summer vacation this year there will only be activity during the weekends and evenings for the most of the month.

Sharing the knowledge, again!

A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by the project manager and president of SK7BQ, Kristianstads Radioamatörer, if I was able to host a short presentation on their annual field day/meeting called Bockebodaträffen. The meeting is a tradition since 2012 and is a get-together for local hams as well as for the hams in the...

Renovation, part 2..

Yesterday, Friday, was a day of thank's to the fact that I was on call for my work last weekend. The "free Friday" award is always a welcome thing every five week. This Friday I decided to get the KAM+ modem fixed as I previously ordered new parts to fix the faltering negative voltage in the...
