LA1T 10m net – pedestrian portable
Tried something different for the LA1T 10m net. Attached a telescopic CB antenna to my X6100 and went “pedestrian portable” from Signalen (145 meters above sea level). Running 5W into the ~1m long antenna sitting at eye-level was of course quite different from my normal setup running 100W into a sleeve dipole up a 10m…

SOTA: LA/AH-007 – Varden, Håøya
First time activating an island today. Håøya sits at the narrowest point in the Oslo fjord, and is just a 15 minutes ferry ride from Drøbak. The summit rests at 231m which sounded like a proverbial “walk in the park”. What I forgot to consider is that in the case of an island, you literally…

SOTA: LA/TM-013 – Vestre Vealøs
Catching up on documenting my SOTA adventures. Walked up Vestre Vealøs on a nice and sunny last of August. Parked the car at Store Skifjell (59.211, 9.716) and followed the gravel road all the way to the top; a total of a little less then 360m elevation and a round trip of about 9km. Very…

SOTA: LA/OF-002 – Tremannsrøset
Var en tur over på solsiden av Oslofjorden i dag og hentet en ny (for meg) radio hos Morten (LB4AH). Og når jeg først var på den siden, og hadde en “ny” radio som nærmest skrek etter å bli testet, benyttet jeg sjansen til å aktivere 50% av SOTA-toppene i Østfold – eller om man…

SOTA: LA/VF-006 – Seteråsen
Seteråsen står registrert i Vestfold, men etter kartet å dømme ligger den i Viken… Men det spiller i og for seg liten rolle. Ny helg, og ny fjelltopp. Det var egentlig meningen vi skulle tatt Gaustatoppen denne helgen, men det ble litt for liten tid til å planlegge det ordentlig. Så da valgte vi noe…
