Biography

Hi, my name is Eivind

I have been off bands since 1983, but after 32 years and as retired I am now back to “The best hobby in the World” in 2015 with great joy and a lot of fun.

HF antenna is a homemade (13,8/27,7) meters OCF dipole (Windom) with a 4:1 current balun, working on 80, 40, 20, 17, 12, 10 and 6 meters. The SWR is better than 1:2.0 on all these bands. 160, 60, 30 and 15 meters are also covered using my
LDG AT-1000ProII Autotuner.

The antenna is mounted as an inverted V with the feeding point placed 6 meters above ground and the (folded) wires ending 4 meters above ground.

On the same mast I have a 1/2 wave vertical antenna for use on 10 meters (not least 29.600 FM).

For the moment I run a lot of BPSK,SSTV and JT65/JT9 QSO’s on the bands with 20-50W RF power. BPSK Tx quality is controlled with KK7UQ IMD meters.
