Not an Awards Collector But…
My thanks to the team of 3B8M for putting a smile on my face when I received this little award yesterday! Every time I manage to work someone on all bands in a major contest I see it as a small achievement.
CQWW CW 2020 Update
Great fun, but not a full-time effort this year in CQWW CW. You might really wonder why… and I do too! Considering this was the contest where the sun woke up after its long over due sleep I should have been on for 48 hours! But other things got in the way and I early
Another CQWW Record Broken!

CQWW-CW: Close but no cigar
Here is the quick summary of the single operator marathon of the year, CQWW CW. Propagation was nice with some good DX on Ten meter and also a few surprises on low bands. I recently replaced my 40 meter array and have a new 160 meter vertical in the air, both working great in the contest. Being
TF3W – SM/TF Team breaks Zone 40 record in CQWW SSB
Endless rates on 10 and 15 meter, antenna repairs in the rain and way too little sleep.

Happy New Year!
Once again its time to pop the cork of a bottle of chilled Dom Pérignon and celebrate another fun year at SEØX, and what a year it’s been! 2011 was the year when the sun finally got back into the game and once again fuelling fantastic propagation paths on high bands. For me 2011 started
#1 SM in CQWW CW three years in-a-row?
When the log submission deadline was passed on December 21st, SEØX is the #1 ranking SOHP (non-assisted) station in Sweden by a wide margin. With a final score of 2.315.985 I almost doubled my result of 2010 and ended up with twice the score of #2 in my category. In 2011 the rise of the
CQ WW CW was a blast!
The propagation outlook for CQ WW CW was really promising with the recent improvement of solar acitivity, and the sun provided for a lot of action on higher bands while the aurora stayed calm enough to allow for low bands to perform. SMØMDG was operating with the SEØX in Single Operator, High Power category in
