Welcome to my Blog or I would rather say to my Home Page. The content here is mostly for my own use, i. e. to organize my interests/hobbies and to make it possible to recap what I have found is of interest for me. Some of it may also be of interest for you and I will be glad to share it. As you can see this Home Page has somewhat a focus on amateur radio. That is because my main hobby is or has been Amateur Radio with my callsign SM0FOB. Sometimes it is birdwatching or digital photography. It depends on my mood of the day. That is why the content here has a widespread focus on little here and there. My name is Kjell Bergqvist and I live in Jordbro (QTH LocatorJO99bd) in Haninge in Sweden. Jordbro is located 20 km SE of Stockholm.

Receiving PJ4C Bonaire 2012



This morning before sunrise I did listen on QSOs with P4C Bonaire 2012 DXpedition. It was on the 80 m band. PJ4C was weak but readable using my G5RV antenna. Today sunrise here is at 08:16 and sunset at 13:11 UTC.

Bonaire in the Caribbean was part of Netherlands Antilles until the country´s dissolution on October 10, 2010, when the island (including the islet Klein Bonaire) became a special municipality within the country of the Netherlands.

Interesting Kjell, indeed very weak signal. I would be stronger if you had a vertical available I think. I spoke with PJ4B today on 12m SSB. He was transmitting from the Radio Netherlands Relaystation site. I was transmitting on my 84m horizontal loop. I like that Kenwood of yours, nice radio...73, Bas

Congrats Bas working PJ4B! My G5RV radiates and receives straight up, so a vertical would be nice to have. I am just exploring what is possible to receive with a low height G5RV.
