POTA: First Norwegian Kilo Award
I did it! 1000 QSOs from the same park; LA-2535 Slottsfjellet Historic Site!

Last Sunday of the month and time for portable NVIS with my local club, LA1T here in Tønsberg. Nice change of pace to focus on getting as much of the energy as possible straight up, as opposed to parallel to the ground like most of us normally do! I’ve had mixed experiences running NVIS from…
