Absolutely cracking day here in JP85. Tnx all for QSOs. 73 de SM/F5VMJ 🇸🇪 #qo100 #hamradio #AmateurRadio

Mirror flat (new) road to Arvidsjaur JP95. Lots of reindeer. Often they will just stroll across the road. You’ll have a bad day if you hit one of these bad boys at 100Km/h. Worse for the deer. #qo100 #hamradio #gopro_dashcam

Not the idyllic spot I would have hoped… but sufficient to serve up a freshly ground cup of JP95 ☕️. #qo100 #amsat #AmateurRadio #hamradio

Stopped for a KP05 breakfast: Pringles, choky bar and a Red Bull 473mils to avoid any ‘unpleasantness’. Clear blue sky with Swedish air force …brapp papapap💨 🇸🇪 #qo100 #AmateurRadio #hamradio #swedishairforce #gripen

The old station house in Kusfors for JP94. With an old steam train. Very charming. Few people …just locals. Café closed. Lucky ..as where I’d planned to park during the site survey was blocked off. #qo100 #hamradio #AmateurRadio

Set up in grid KP04. Olandet and near the waterfront. Super clear sky but a bit nippy now and fog rolling in on the water. Nice chat with a local. #qo100 #AmateurRadio #amsat #hamradio

Probably my last trip to SM/ this year. Lessons learnt: - Beneficial to check and burn-in gear AND SPARES beforehand. - FT8 has a few operational nuances which need to be grasped. - FT8CN is a great portable app, with a couple of bugs but workarounds exist. - Reggae on

RSGB Convention 10-12 Oct. …Saturday morning. 🇬🇧 #qo100 #AmateurRadio #hamradio

Swapped out the QRPp amp .. back to the ‘QRO’ amp in my main mover. Made a retro blue LED SWR meter. Providing quick Fwd/Rev verification. Used some op-amp action to interface levels from amp’s dual directional detectors to LED bargraph inputs. Op-amps rock! #qo100 #hamradio

Our Eutelsat OneWeb demo vehicle ... I need something similar hi hi. #qo100 #the_roving_life #amsat #hamradio

Very sad to hear that Markus Baseler DL6YYM founder of BaMaTech is SK. Earlier this year I had acquired a BaMaKeY paddle from Markus. We then exchanged a few emails and photos, as he had also visited S9, São Tomé and Príncipe a few years ago. BaMaTech Fine Mechanics also
