Russian Hunt

The winter season of the "Russian Hunt" is coming up. Sadly my cw is not good enough to participate yet. I have taken up the cw practice again so maybe I will be able to join the summer season in August. I have bought a SW+ 40 kit from Dave at Small Wonder Labs to put some pressure on myself!

Moroz contest

During the Moroz QRP contest today I was only able to be active for about one hour but I still managed to work 7 stations. My QTH was a wooden shelter just outside my home town Skien. The thermometer showed -3°C. I used a Yaesu FT-817ND, an Elecraft T1 ATU and a W3EDP wire antenna. The highlight of the day was to finally talk to Adam M6RDP on 40m!

Stations worked:
20m: RK3FW, SV2AHT, LA1ENA, LA6GOA, UA3YHG and LZ2RS
40m: M6RDP
