Activity in Utanede and in Täby 2009-04-18
Report from SI9AM Saturday April 18
Arrival
I arrive to Utanede at 8 a clock local time. The weather was Sunny
and little windy. I took some pictures of the The Pavilion with the sun
called from the east (south-east?). Completely different from what you
see if you arrives later. (see below).
80 meter
Very quite on 80 meters and therefore I moved to 40 meters. Quit
here also but I managed to run about 50 contacts.
20 meter
On 20 meters, it was better. Some Japanese and some U.S. long path.
A pleasant pile, neither too much nor too little, with a rate of about
110 QSO's per hour when it went as best. Really fun!
15 meter
I moved to 15 meters, but there were only two DL in approximately 10
minutes. I ran auto-CQ while I ate lunch.
30 meter
Then I moved to 30 meters and it went really well, including some
Japanese on this band.
Conclusion
This was the first activity on SI9AM instead of being in the The
Pavilion Park which we have done for some years. We decided after all to
do this because it was so bad with visitors in the park last year. And
it feels much better!
402 QSOs in the log. On QRZ.com there was almost as many visitors during
the day, just over 350. The summary is simple, a wonderful day at SI9AM!

Report from Täby Saturday April 18
During Saturday SM3LIV/Ulla and SM3FJF/Jörgen were in the exhibit hall
at Täby Park Hotel. It was the SSA's annual radio meeting with visiting
radio amateurs from all over the country. We showed a PowerPoint
presentation of SI9AM and had information about the Visiting Amateur
Radio Station, SI9AM, and tourist information about the Thai Pavilion
and the Dead Fall.
