Boden Fortress - A long time secret place in Sweden

During the first world war the secret Boden Fortress was completed with its five very huge forts blasted into mountains surrounding Boden city in northern Sweden. They all were abunded as late as in 1998. The Rödberget fort is now a major tourist attraction in Boden. Björn, SM0YUZ knows a lot of these places and he took me on a guided tour to some of them. Many photos can be seen here (sorry text in Swedish) and here you can read the fascinating story of Boden Fortress. Björn, SM0YUZ standing in front of the huge Stora Åberget fort. The ugly Radiobunkern in Boden Fortress is a historical site as it was from here in 1921 the first public broadcast programmes in Sweden were transmitted. Link to an article in a Swedish newspaper.

The Kvarnberget Day - SK0UX

On 30 August 2008 SK0UX The Kvarnberget Amateur Radio Society arranged a field day at their radio site north of Stockholm. This site can be described as a "ham´s wet dream" with its huge antennas and radio equipment for all frequency bands up to 24 GHz incl moonbounce capabilities. It was excellent weather conditions and I went there together with Sven, SM5LE. As our main interest is in moonbounce operations we paid much attention to that field day activity. In the picture you can see Hans SM0MXO doing some adjustments on the 6 m dish. More pictures incl. short videos from this great event can be seen here . SK0UX has in year 2000 been described at ARRL´s web site http://www.arrl.org/news/features/2000/01/19/2/
