TF3SG Mobile on 15th Jan 2011
Running mobile on Hlidsnes , quarter wave vertical on 80m with elevated radials. Equipment, FT 2000 with ext. power ampl, external power gernerator. Had some problems with system stability yesterday. I was opperating from my car and it is rather unconfortable to operate cw, holding the computer in my hands and at the same time writing on the keyboard. I have no experience with CW, only about 350 contacts so please be patient with me
QTH Alftanes on New Years day - HNY 2011
HNY to all Radio Amateurs. On new years day and 2nd of Jan I took my mobile antenna to Alftanes and among worked VK6, VK7, N and S America, RA0, RA9 as well as ZS and Japan. Very pleased to meet the JA5 and 7J4 on the 80m again. The Asian stations were loud and clear and readable.
73
CW on 3,7MHz QRS
If you hear me calling on CW please be patient with me. I am still learning.

TF3SG Mobile on Hlidsnesi - Alftanes jan 2010
Interesting what the Aurora can do, the signal comming from Japan, JA5AQC is ablolutely absorbed by the Aurora but the band is even open LP at the same time to VK3.
My callsign and antenna
My antenna on 80m
Quarter wave vertical antenna close to the ocean
Recent testing of my new vertical quarter wave antenna on 80m. The QTH Hlidsnes Álftanesi is a perfect place to place an antenna. The antenna is 20m in hight and with 4 to 5 elevated radials about 1m above the ground. The feedpoint impedance varies with the number of radials. The radiation resistance was close to 72 with only one elivated radial and with three elevated radials close to 53 ohms.

Strong winds polished the snow of southwestern Alaska and stretched marine stratocumulus clouds into long, parallel streets in early January, 2012. After crossing Bristol Bay, the winds scraped the clouds across the tall volcanic peaks of the Aleutian Islands. As the wind impacted the immobile mountains, the airflow became turbulent, swirling in symmetric eddies and carving intricate patterns into the clouds on the leeward side of the islands. At the top of this image, the bright white color indicates a thick layer of snow overlying the land of southwestern Alaska. The pristine white is broken by the rugged Ahklun Mountain Range in the east, which is partially covered by a bank of clouds. Off the coast of Alaska, sea ice floats in Bristol Bay, cracked and chipped by the flow of the waters which lie underneath. A few cloud streets – parallel lines of clouds – can be seen in the far northwest over land. The clouds increase over the sea ice and become thick over open water, where row upon row of clouds lie close in perfectly parallel formation. The Aleutian Islands stretch from northeast to southwest across the image. Sea ice, which is bright white here, lies on the windward side of the islands. A few of the tallest volcanic peaks can be seen rising from the icy islands. The character of the cloud streets change as they impact the Aleutians, especially near the center of the image, where two rows of beautifully symmetric swirls of eddies in the clouds stretch across the sky. These swirling formations are known as von Karman vortex streets. This true-color image was captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Terra satellite on January 11, 2012.
