Biography

Hello!

QSL MANAGEMENT: QSLs are at the moment ONLY accepted via LoTW. This is because I don't have any paper QSL-cards printed atm.

BIOGRAPHY: I'm a guy from a town in middle Sweden named Falköping (at the bottom between the two big lakes Vänern and Vättern). I passed my ham exam 2009, and the guy who brought me in to this is my uncle Magnus (SM6WET). I like much Contesting and hunt countries. I am also very intrested in electronics and electrics and I like to build things of my own. I'm active on the HF bands but also some contesting on VHF. Right now I'm working as a fiber optic networks planner at the local powergrid company.

YOUTH ACTIVITIES: Right now I'm active in the Swedish youthboard for SSA and working to getting more youngsters in the hobby. I have entered two YOTA camps in 2018-South Africa and 2019-Bulgaria and Friedrichhafen camp. I also have entered two NOTA (Nordics On The Air) Camps and YOTA December Month (DYM). If you are interested in the hobby, don't hesitate to ask me!

PROJECTS ONGOING:

Radio shack and antenna park: I am slowly building my antenna park and shack up. Now I have erected my 12m tower and mounted a Quad for 6-10-12-15-17-20mb with seperated feeders. At the bottom of tower I will have a coax switch where I also join coax for 160,40 and 80m antennas. Between tower and shack (25m) I have dug down two pipes, a 110 for 1/2", RG213 and RG58 coaxes, and the 50mm for Rotor, antenna-switching, 230V and LAN cables.

At the radioshack I have a L-shaped desk that is raisable to fit both standing and sitting positions hihi. On this I will build shelfs for the Equipment.

Mobile HAM Radio Station: I am building a mobile HAM radio contest station. Originally it is a caravan Sävsjö Sport 460 from 1981. Which I am renovating the whole outside with new paint and resealed windows, rails e.t.c. The inside I'm making a big desktop for two operator seats in the back and there will be a telescopic mast inside it. The main reason i do this is because of the high QRM in my former home in central Falkoping. -The caravan is almost finished but atm I use it as a normal caravan as I don't have use for it atm since I moved to the country side.

ANTENNA PARK:

-Tower: 12m guyed steel pole tower with HAM-IV rotor, holding a 2+2el Vanderley Quad for 6-10-12-15-17-20mb with seperated feeders @13,5m height.
-1/4wl aluminium tube vertical for 40mb.
-1/4wl wire vertical for 80m - 20m up in a pine-tree and sharing radials with:
-Inv-L for 160mb 20m up and sloping.
-Plans for beverages later.

All antennas except 6mb will be connected by RG213 to antenna switch at bottom of tower, from there will be a 1/2" cable to the outside of shack where lightning protection will be. The 6mb antenna goes directly by it's own 1/2" feeder to the shack.
