FT8 on the iPhone with NO wires!
Running FT8 on the iPhone with NO wires. SDR Control Mobile connects to the IC-705 over WiFi. Far from the best way of running FT8, but seeing as it gives me the option to do so without bringing /any/ additional equipment, I think it’s a really useful tool to have!

SOTA: LA/TM-010 – Skrehelle
Time for some vertical movement, both for me and Oscar (my son). Winter in Norway makes it too easy to find an excuse to stay indoors. I reckoned Skrehelle (LA/TM-010), with its summit at 553m would do us both some good. And I think I was right. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer day.…

Every day should be field day: Frodeåsen
Time for a break from Christmas related activities; let’s get out of the noise and up onto higher ground. I’m lucky enough to live in a city, and still have access to nature and high-ish ground within walking distance of my home! Was planing a SOTA activation today, but that didn’t happen! So the next…
