Santa, where is the OM3500A you were going to send me for Christmas?

Have you seen it? It seem to have gotten lost on the way from Santa Claus

The planned ARRL SSB effort by SM3WMU and SM3RAB got cancelled this weekend which I guess was for the best. The propagation’s were awful, haven’t heard the bands so bad for a while. Now I am not sure what the next effort will be. We need to solve some amplifier issues before we can do a serious effort and I haven’t gotten much done lately so we will see if we can do WPX SSB or not. If not I guess the next goal is to have the station up and running again before WPX CW.

Man it would be a lot easier if I was rich and not needing to build most stuff 🙂

Not much has happened lately. I haven’t really been in the mood but hopefully soon some projects will get kick started again. SM2XJP took a nice picture today of the big tower, the top Yagi needs work but other than that its looking pretty good.

I added a page on the website which does contain pictures of SO2R contest shacks around the world, I think all information regarding this should be on the page so check it out!

This is inspired by K8ND but since there are no updates since a long time back on his page, I decided to add it to this website and add lots of shacks.

Hello lads,

Not much interesting stuff has been happening lately. I have mostly been working on the openASC firmware, which does not bring much updates to the website. I have also done some non radio related work at the station, however most time right now will be spent in the lab. I am making in input for the 4-1000A amplifier and will continue to work on the automation of it, so some updates of that will come in the soon future. When that is done I will start working on the 2x4CX1500B amplifier again.

So now I promise to start updating the web page again.
