4 m Sporadic E
Long awaited opening today. Manage 13 QSO’s in short time, 12 QSO’s in FT8 mode and a one on CW with 9A2SB, thanks Zlatko.
KO20 in log
Finally a very rare squear in log on 4 m. Team of EM44T on the way to home (DL) from Ukrain stopped in KO20bu for a rest. DG0LFF Henrik was active on 4 m band and did a few QSO’s. With a very low sporadic meteor rate it was not easy to get a QSO.
Radio horizon
As you can see my take-off to North-East is very restricted. Has a rock wall just few meters from my home. Elevating antenna just a 3 deg helping a lot.
QRV on 4m
From today I’m back on 4m after a long time away from this band. Station as before: IC7100 + Power Amp (up to 200 watts) and 5 elements yagi antenna, located about 10 m over ground, 52 m a.s.l.

Today moved LA5VHF beacon to a new location JO38rb. QTH Mandal,Haugen…about 150 m a.s.l. Days before I did maintanance of the hardware, especially antenna. Now running 10 watts to GP antenna, F1A mode on 70.065 MHz. Thanks to LB2S Tore for helping.
3cm TROPO & ODX QSO
Finally a long awaited tropo condition on 3cm band (Saturday, 29,June). A lot of activities on ON4KST chat so I decided to go portable from JO48ad, Odderøya Island, 85 m asl. Pleasent weather, temperature 23 C, sunshine and calm. The place has a good take off to almost all direction. My portable station is 50cm
