2013-05-05 : REG 1 contest May
| Nice
sunny wx here in Stockholm this weekend. But on Sunday morning I toke
some time in house to try the remote station during the contest. Worked
several nice QSO via AS towards OK/OM/OL/DL. But sometimes it take
very long time to complete a QSO via AS so not so many QSO in my
logbook. Most time I spent waiting for a good airplane. Looked mostly for QSO in 700 and above range so sorry to all other stations on KST which I didn't have time for. I also wanted to spend some sunny hours in the garden. Most of the sked got to a final QSO but OK2M was difficult. Tried several times but no trace on on the waterfall display even when I saw nice airplanes within the SCP, frustrating. But as a summary nice hours at the station and thanks for all QSO, sked... Didn't work any stations on 13 cm (except SP4MPB). This because the station is to bad (still no preamp) and I wanted to focuses on QSO on 23 cm this weekend. 73 de ULF/SM7LCB Hope to upload audio segments for some QSO later...

2013-06-06...07 : Baltic Sea Ducting
| During
my travel (5 Juni) to my SM7 QTH (remote site) I got a SMS from
Ari/OH3LWP that it maybe will be possible conds because high pressure
over the Baltic Sea and he want to try on the microwave bands. During the evening 6 Juni conds were getting stronger over the Baltic Sea and I worked a LY2BJ via ON4KST sked. Later OH2LAK canme QRV on 23 cm and I worked him but with weak signals, I checked OH2SHF after that QSO but nil copy. Send SMS message to OH3LWP but didn't get any response, to late evening. Next evening 7 Juni conds again came up at about 19.30z with ES0SHF being 599 but thats no good indicaiton. ES0SHF need to be more to full scale reading before other beacons will show up. To my suprise I got OH5SHF in log, not to common to hear it. Then I hear OH3SHF on 9 cm and send a SMS to Ari and he responde and we soon worked a nice QSO on 9 cm. After that we also worked on 13 cm, 23 cm and later on 3 cm when the OH3SHF becon came up on 3 cm. Nice with four 721 km QSO on 23, 13, 9 and 3 cm. Bad that I still don't have my 6 cm station QRV. 73 de ULF/SM7LCB Date UTC Call Locator Band km Remark |  QSO map  Hepburn 2013-06-06  Hepburn 2013-06-07 |
2013-06-18 : NAC 23 cm contest
| This
contest began nice. When I switched on the remote station I first
checked the beacon band. Weak signal from ES0SHF which is easy to hear
if there is any conds over the Baltic Sea. But weak signal indicate bad
conds. But then I found LY3II/B in KO15FM so I tuned the antenna and it
was very strong. Maybe some conds to east and southeast then. Because of the nice signals from LY-beacon I started my operation towards LY and work 5 LY stations within 30 minuets, very nice activity. I keep calling on 1296.185 MHz towards LY, YL and ES and worked some more stations in these directions. Then I worked ODX this evening when I tried a QSO with YL2GD. Bit surprised to get him but signals was good. After the first hour towards east directions I started working stations in other directions but conds was not good and the airplanes was not so helpful as I wanted. Heard OH2AXH and OZ1FF but no complete QSO this evening. Tried with several other stations as ES6FX, SM5AZN, SM6BFE, SM4DXO, LA2Z, ES5PC and DL1SUN. 73 de ULF/SM7LCB Hope to upload audio segments for some QSO later...

2013-07-06-07 : REG 1 contest July
| This
weekend I was active more then I normal are on this kind of 24 hour
contest and maybe I work more stations also but it take a lot of time
when there is no good tropo conds. All long distance QSO need to be
worked via airplane scatter (AS) and as you know i can take several
tries to get the right airplane to complete the QSO. I have this
weekend very many tries with OK1KUO but finally we made a complete QSO. As usual I prefer working on 23 cm because my station is "best" on this band. Have 50W out (-cable loss) and 1.9 m dish. Use the same antenna for 13 cm and 9 cm. The 13 cm band is bad mostly because I still don't have any preamp installed. On 9 cm it's better but I need to replace the feeder on all band to get better performance out of the antenna. Later in the contest I tried to get some more 9 cm QSO in the logbook but I didn't work so many QSO on this band. 73 de ULF/SM7LCB No recording from this contest!

2013-07-06-07 : After REG 1 contest
| During
the REG1 contest this weekend I didn't have any tropo conds at all. All
QSO was made over then "normal tropo" distance or with help of airplane
scatter. I noted during the contest that several stations worked
G-stations on long distance (SM7ECM/SM7DTE) but conds never came to my
QTH. I tried with G3XDY on 23 cm but no signal. After the contest I continue to monitor the DX-cluster and ON4KST because if they (ECM/DTE) worked G it maybe can get to me much later but I was not sure it will make it this time. But late in the evening the conds seems to have increased and I checked to see it I can hear GB3MHL beacon and yes it was there on 830 as it shall, so now time to try a QSO again. I got in touch with John/G3XDY and we started on 23 cm and worked easy. Then I moved him up to 9 cm as I wanted to try that more then 13 cm (because of better equipment on 9 cm). We worked there also and then I moved back to 13 cm. Maybe we misunderstand each other then because i got to 13 cm and maybe John on 3 cm. Well we mad a 13 cm QSO easy also. After that we tried on 3 cm without any signal at all. I still don't have my 6 cm equipment ready, I need to get that done some times to have that band QRV. 73 de ULF/SM7LCB Date UTC Call Locator Band km Remark |  23-13-9 cm map  Hepburn 2013-07-07 |
2013-08-06...08: Some RS QSO this summer
| Seems I missed the nice RS day (27 July) because I was at a scout camp (Space camp 2013) which was visited by Christer Fuglesang. But now I'm back on Öland and enjoying the nice summer wx and looking for conds on the microwave bands. I have been working some RS QSO's but not many... 73 de ULF/SM7LCB Date UTC Call Locator Band km Remark |   Radar map with overlay OZ1LPR. |
