    SOTA: LA/BU-112 – Sirikjerke

    Leaving for Cyprus tomorrow, and as I’m planing on bringing only the FT-817nd in the way of radio I wanted to do an activation with only the internal (Windcamp upgraded) battery before packing it up! Previously I’ve mostly used the ‘817 with external power, so I was unsure what to expect from the internal pack.…

    SOTA: LA/TM-012 – Svarteberget

    Finally! Feels like it been one thing after another on my SOTA outings lately! Dense forest, no track, heavy rain, or even all three! But today was rather perfect! It was pouring down on the drive there, but I decided to have faith in the forecasts, and boy did they deliver! The clouds broke, crisp…

    POTA: First Norwegian Kilo Award

    I did it! 1000 QSOs from the same park; LA-2535 Slottsfjellet Historic Site!

    SOTA: LA/VF-012 Røysa

    Summer is slowly but firmly tightening its grip on the Norwegian weather, so I decided to make the most of it and activate a few summits this sunny Saturday. First one out, and a new one for me, was LA/VF-012, Røysa. Two years since the last time it was activated, and going by the state…

  • SOTA: LA/VF-017 Storås

    SOTA: LA/VF-017 Storås

    Winter is finally letting go, and today was this years first SOTA activation where I didn’t have to wade through snow to get to the summit. It was raining for most of the night and early morning, so I picked an easy one. And for once, that turned out to be true! Spent about 35…
