Not much going on Things are kinda slow for the time being. No radioactivity, but am looking forward to some 6m openings again. Hopefully, by then I'll have my 7 element up in the air. I do have to wait for all the snow to melt though.

LA9L lecture went well. That was my fourth lecture about OJ0LA. Maybe I inspired some guys to go on a trip, at least I hope so.

Yesterday I attended the big hammeeting here in Norway. Click here for link. I was the lucky guy talking about LA8W in the contest forum. The other guys have stage fright, so they nominated me. LA3Z and LA9Z were also presented. You can see a few pics and an article about the meeting here and here.

As a sidenote, I am looking into giving this website a new look with a php+mysql system, so it's easier to maintain. I have no idea when that will happen, hopefully some time soon:) I'm also helping out my friends at LA3Z with a new page as well. Until next time .-.-. ... -.-

A small update Not much to update about really.

I joined the team at LA8W/LN8W again for the CQWW CW contest. Claimed score here.

I finally put up my BiggIR antenna. It was only used once before during the OJ0LA trip. It seemed to work well on 40 and 30, a little less effective on the higher bands, but conditions have been terrible. The bad thing is, I had to take it down early this year. The copperband curled up inside the box. Strange thing is, I haven't read about anyone having this kind of trouble, but I know for a fact, that a few other LA's have experienced the same thing.

Will hold a lecture about OJ0LA at LA9L in early February.
