Running 200 watt from my FTdx5000. Exelent conditions on low bands.
My hat off for D41CV..ZF1A..TI7W.over 9000 qso's during the weekend.
They are all from another world....
Low scale operation this year also for me, comeback from Thailand
late sunday evening (18 nov),worked to much the week before the contest.
So ended up with S/P for some hours, but great fun,it's a lot of very good
cw op's out there....CW IS KING....I hope NeXT year to make a full attempt
in cq ww cw, maybe from a New qth, I think I must give up this qth..to noisy.
Great result for the LN8W gang also, over 9000 q's from them, they realy
put Norway on the air...

VP6D Ducie Island.

Had some bad feeling for this dx-pedition.
It is in wrong direction for my antennas since I
haven't changed my broken rotator, 5 bands beam is to east
and my rotable dipole for 30/40 mtr is facing south-north.
Worked them on 40 mtr cw this morning..look at the
Photo, *DXA* a exelent tool and fun to see that you are in the log.
My signal was way down since Ducie is on the tip of my dipole.
But great to be in the log,thank you guys.
After 96000 qso's.....I made it.

This is from my 2nd qso.

Made with my vertical Antenna GP7DX and barefoot radio.

The band was 17 mtr and the mode was cw.

Amazing qso ,since  I have no amplifier and the qrb is 15000 km.

New one for my DXCC challenge award.

No more hunting for VP6D for me, pity for me ....no RTTY qso.

I don't work FT8 mode, love real ham radio mode.

FT8 is just......... F_requency    T_rash  r_8

Only qrv some hours sunday morning.
The problem with my neighbors led lamps is solved.
I can work on ssb also...happy ham life again.
It's hard to find a frequency when you run small Power
and a vertical...beam still locked to the east..
Lets hope for some more sun spots till NeXT year..
I allways check dx-summit for Norwegian spot's after a contest.
One Norwegian Op spotted him self With his home country callsign (boat refuge)
Another one made 10 fake spot for him self on DX-Summit.....
.....GIRLS this is CHEATING...

Have been  qrt since April this year.
My new neighbor put up some led's lamps inside his house
around easter time, they created noise from 6 mtr to 40 mtr
S9+20dB...Ooohh my good ..no more hamradio from this qth...
I can say...I DONT LIKE BOAT REFUGES WITH LED LAMPS FROM CHINA..
But it ended good...I think...for 14 days ago he changed some
of the led-lamps and the noise Level disappeared...I had started
to take down my antennas because I was looking for a new qth.
Had a offer on a great new qth with perfect take-off..with terrain
drop all around the house....but a new problem started...my wife !!
denied to move....She say! divorce ore ham-radio! I say to her ..I'm old
i like ham-radio...she say ok..no problem give me 100000 Euro...
------------)(-----------
I think again....I must try some hours in the SAC CW test...
I put up again a wire for 80 mtr on thursday...
I had started to take down some of my antennas this summer.
Woowwww the noise Level was ok from my neighbor he had changed
some more of his led-lamps, and I was qrv again with ok RX...
I was qrv 11 hours ...made 793 q's ..With a normal attempt
I could easy made 1200 q's this weekend in the sac-test..I think.
The conds was much better than in 2017 but only heard OH's on 15 mtr.
My qth is very good when I have no led lamps in the rx...So thanks to all
who answered my cq test Call....NeXT one is cqww rtty.....CU..

LG5LG-SJ9WL...QRT

Long time since I have some posting.

Have been qrt for about 5 months.

My new neighbour put up some Chinese led -lamps

that killed my radio,they produced some S 9 + noise

from 7 MHz to 50 Mhz ...A difficult  situation.

But he finaly changed some of the lamps and I

hope I will be qrv again.....

Look at the photo..

A sad story...

The antennas on SJ9WL and LG5LG went down

In August , was some windy days this month.

This station is placed on the borderline between 

Norway and Sweden, if you like  you can operate

from this station...they have a booking system on

their homepage.......but you have to wait a while..

They will put up new antennas soon...they say.

DX IN MARCH #8 Z60A

Actually this one started in January and ended in March.

Have never been so easy to work a New Dxcc Country.

Dident work them on 10 mtr,but should be easy during the

summer skip to make it on 10 and 6 mtr. As usually when a New

Dxcc come on the band...it create full war for the first days.

They have uploaded to lotw and I'm back on dxcc HR #1 Mixed. 

DX IN MARCH # 7 TN5R

DX IN MARCH #6 TY7C

DX IN MARCH # 5 3C0W

This Latvian dx-ers have made about 87000 q's from Annobon Isl.

A lot of dx-ers should include this guys into their evening prayer.

DX IN MARCH # 4 3C3W

DX IN MARCH # 3 3B8XF

DX IN MARCH # 2 XR0YD

Another great Activity from this team from Germany.

They full filled my dream...i needed one rtty qso...

Get them on 30 mtr rtty ,that was a New one on digi mode.

My beam is locked to the east and my rotary dipole is

faceing North/South ,so this was a hard one.

From my qth ,this is 282 west,that's the tip of my rotary dipole.

Thanks to the team, hope you will travel again...

Yaesu FT5000dx set to 100 watt.
Antennas: Optibeam OB11-5..Optibeam OB40-30
  Fullsize GP for 80 mtr with elevated radials.
 Vertical GP7DX for 10 to 40 mtr..up 10 mtr

My goal for this contest was to push the low Power record
for Norway, the claimed score is about 200k Points over
the old one from 2007, so I hope the log check is good for me.
Antenna situation is still bad for 20 mtr, since the yagi is
locked to the east 90* East, but of course I had a great signal
to the east.I did not work a singel JA in the contest, only heard
some few on 40 mtr . Worked 60 NA on 20 mtr with the vertical.
On sunday evening I was struggling on 20 mtr to get some qsos
So i qsyed to 40 mtr and started to cqing, I was Lucky With the
frequency and get a lot of qsos,this was a smart move since EU
qsos was giving 4 Points pr. qso. My 40 mtr antenna is very good.
Rebuilt my 80 mtr GP for 2 weeks ago, worked very well, low band
was good this weekend, To have sucsess in wpx rtty you must work
40/80 mtr, my prefix are little low ,but I have many 4 Points q's.
Get tired on sunday, work to much the week before, but contesting
is fun. Qso's will be on LOTW ,Qsl is also welcome via the buro..

DXCC SCORE..NEW ONES IN 2017

Another goal is reached.

When I started with ham-radio in december 1994 ,my main goal was to work

all countries on ARRL's DXCC list. After 20 years I reached that goal.

Had some Luck,because all countries was activ in this period.

I have never been home from work to reach this goal.

I'm not a typical Norwegian DXer, have worked the dx in the weekend's.

My 2nd goal was to Reach 2500 dxcc countries confirmed and

that happen this year....

Look at my dxcc score...
