Dubus CW contest

Did work some stations during the Dubus CW Contest last weekend.
In total 18 QSO's and really good activity with many stations QRV.
Heard a few more but had limited time to be QRV due to other engagement but it was really nice working CW and signals where strong overall.
Some new stations and Alaska was a new DXCC which is allways extra fun.

Worked KL6M 559, DL7ON 579, DL9KR 579, OH2DG 559, SP6JLW 559, DL6SH 569, DK3WG 569, I2FHW 579, UA3PTW 579, OZ6OL 559, UT5DL 559, OE5JFL 569, OZ4MM 579, SM2CEW 569, DF3RU 559, DL7APV 579, OE3JPC RO and G3LTF 559.

Managed to find some settings for the SDR radio to be able to work CW but I need to elaborate some more as sometimes I had difficulties reading and especially with weaker signals.

Besides working during the weekend I have not been able to work so much due to high winds and some rain and today we got 10 cm of snow again.
Have started with the firewood work now so radio activities will be limited as we need more this year then what we made last year.

Have ordered a box for the JFL controller but the delivery is slow so that has not been finalized yet and the same goes for a pair of LNB's for the Hail2 geostationary satellite thar recently started their transponders.
Seems like shipping is slower nowadays compared to a few years ago but maybe that's the future.

Snow again

A lot of snow fell last weekend and everything is now covered.
Fortunately the declination of the moon  is low at the moment and there will be some mild weather ahead so most of it will melt away the next few days or so.

Got in total about 17 inces now and a lot of snowmobile riding was done.
Did manage to remove some snow from the antenna to release some strain of the supporting wires.

So the next few weeks will be spent Indoors with other projects and hopefully I will finalize the OE5JFL controller and make some more progress with the new amplifier.
