Born 1949, 25 wpm morsetest in 1970, license C in 1973, license B in 1974 and license A in 1990.
QRT from 1991 to 2011 except from 13 QSOs in 1997 (The "Big black hole" in my life).
Member of: EDR, eQSL, LoTW, IOTA, SOCWA (http://www.socwa.se).
RIG:
Elecraft K3 transceiver, 100 Watts output, powered by a Diamond GVS3000 PSU, 25 Amps cont./34 Amps peak.
Until now I have tried to keep my rig and my antenna at a fairly simple level. I think it's more fun to make things fairly simple and yet is able to create connections throughout the globe.
NO expensive towers, amplifiers and fancy antennas, just "standard" 100 Watts rig and wire antennas.
I have a computer in my shack, but use it ONLY for my log and QRZ look-ups.
In my opinion there is NO sport in looking up the DX-cluster or use the computer keyboard to generate morsecode.
I ONLY use the DX-cluster to avoid being called "idiot" or "lid" if it happens that I call ona QRG where a DX station, unreadable to me, are transmitting. I prefer the good old fashioned way by sweeping the band and LISTNING.
I will NEVER use the computer for generating morsecode, that's cheating.
Antenna:
Radio Works Carolina Windom CW-80 (10m to 80m bands incl. WARC + 60m).
Oriented North-South with the long leg pointing North as inverted "V". The feedpoint is up 12 meters and the endpoints is about 7 meters above ground.
Keying:
Using the internal keyer in the K3 transceiver or external Winkeyer electronics (back-up).
Keys/paddles:
MSK5 Squeeze key iambic paddles (First choise).
Vibrokeyer de Luxe, single lever non-iambic paddle from Vibroplex.
P1PAD cwtouchkeyer iambic paddles from http://www.cwtouchkeyer.com.
Great Northern Telegraph Co. model C47 straight key.
The MSK5 paddles are the only remaining parts from my old danish build Squeeze keyer, the electronics are destroyed, but paddles are OK, now built in a new housing. The P1PAD cwtouchkeyer is too sensitive to RF when working some bands.
QSO policy
QSO will be made with any HAM who so desire, whether you are DX or non-DX, QRP or QRO, are a beginner or an old timer and no matter wherever in the world you live. The only requirement is that I can hear and read your signal, so if I do not answer your call, it is because I can not read your signal
I DO NOT participate in contests.
I DO NOT hunt awards, but if I happen to receive the necessary points, I will of course apply to them.
I want to have fun, so I do not use any computer generated Morse code.
All Morse code is transmitted using my skills and fingers on a key/bug/paddle and received using my ears, my skills, pencil and paper. The only exception is my CQ call, which is encoded on a button in the keyer electronics, only to save the strength in my arthiritic fingers.
I'm working only on HF-bands (10 - 80 meter) and 99.9% CW.
Have no antennas for 6m and 160m yet.
QSL policy.
I will be happy to finalize our QSO by sending you a QSL card, IF you want my QSL-card.
I will try to avoid multiple QSL cards by repeated QSOs on the same band and mode, but I can not guarantee that it will not happen.
All QSLs are answered the same way as I receive them.
NOTE: I'm NOT using QSL on QRZ.com and HRDLOG.net.
Via the bureau:
This will be the standard way I send my QSL card.
If you are not a member of a bureau it's too bad for YOU, but if you really need/want my QSL, send me an email and we find a solution.
Normally I will send the QSL-cards to the bureau around the turn of the month.
Electronic QSL via the Internet:
All QSOs will be uploaded to eQSL (AG-status) and LoTW without exception.
Are you member of eQSL and/or LoTW and do not want to receive QSL on these, it is your own responsability to set the end date in the eQSL or LoTW systems. Sorry, but I will not use time and effort to sort the QSOs by who wants QSL or not.
QSOs are typically uploaded to LoTW and ClubLog when I'm QRT for the day, to eQSL automaticly when logged.
Direct:
I will only in very few cases send QSL cards directly by mail.
If the QSO is the first or second with a new DXCC country, I usually send directly.
Denmark is NOT exactly a rare DXCC, so I'm not receiving many QSL requests directly, but of course, you are very welcome to send your own card directly to me, NO MONEY needed but a SAE are very welcome.
If you feel that you will make a donation for the return postage, I will NOT refuse it 
(But pse no IRCs, I can't use them in our local postoffice).
I'm not Mr. Moneybag, so I have to restrict the sending of direct QSL for countries that are already confirmed twice with paper QSL with at least 2 different stations.
At the buttom of this page you can see which countries that will be QSL'ed only via bureau (marked with red text).
SWL:
QSL reports from SWL will be answered 100%, of course if I have the reported QSO in my log. But I need to know all the QSO details.
QSL responce rate as of May 1, 2013:
paper QSL: Recieved 2653 = 37.7% of total 7026 sent.
eQSL: Received 1255 = 16.0% of total 7831 sent.
LoTW: Received 1076 = 13.7% of total 7831 sent.
My QTH:
LUNDBY, a small town located in the southern part of the Isle of Zealand, about 12 km north of Vordingborg city and about 88 km south-southwest of Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark.
Locator: JO55WC
IOTA: EU-029, Sjaelland archipelago.
The elevation of my QTH is approximately 13 meters above sea level, but I have about 5 km to the nearest open sea.
