gavare.se > SM6VNO Ham Radio stuff

Welcome to my small amateur radio web page. I have been licensed since 1994. Two words that best describe my ham radio activities are: Sporadic and Experimental.

Right now it seems that the little spare time I actually have is spent learning more about digimodes, QRP, building simple antennas and radio cirtuits, re-learning CW, coding, and preparing for portable operations.

2023/2024 update: I now have a permanent shack again. The "operator's corner" is the rightmost 59 cm of a desk, and I have some rudimentary antenna options:

• An end-fed half-wave sleeved dipole for 20 meters, about 5 meters above ground, which can be put up temporarily in the garden in short notice. This is my main home outdoor antenna.
• I have also experimented with a 30m sloping quarter-wave antenna from the balcony, but it is currently not up.
• I also have an indoor magloop antenna which can be tuned to 30 meters, for occasional HF PSK63 APRS listening experiments with an old laptop.

Most of the things you will find on these pages are not new or unique; my implementations of circuits and code are inspired by things found elsewhere on the internet. Links are provided when the original source is known. Many of these pages are work-in-progress, or describe ongoing experiments.
