Telegraphy or CW as we often call it was invented by the artist Samuel Morse. Samuel Morse (1791-1872) The telegraph was the first means of communication via radio and is still very effective today in making contact with other radio amateurs all over the world. In the past, there was a requirement for telegraphy knowledge to get your amateur radio certificate, which has not been the case since 1971. Even though the requirement is no longer there today, I recommend everyone to learn cw. For the beginner, there are some links below to use to train your ability to master the art of making connections using the telegraphy method. Please visit the Radio School which is really good.

My remote station Here is some information about my remote station. The mast stands on a hill outside Åmål about 1km from home. The main antenna is an 80m dipole set up as an inverted V and with step feed. I also have other antennas in the mast, which is also equipped with a sled. The steps from the dipole go into these baluns that I built and the feed then continues as coax into the autotuner, The antenna can be tuned without problems on all bands from 160m to 10m. The station consists of an IC-706MKIIG, remote control from Remoterig and a 4G router. The autotuner comes from MFJ. There is also a Windows computer with Chrome remote desktop installed so I can get into the router's and Remoterig's web interface, pull out the antennas and control the antenna switch from home. The remote station also has a Web-SDR that I connected with my radio at home with the help of Omnirig so they follow each other in frequency, mode and mute at tx. The SDR receiver is an Air Spy and the software is Spy Server installed on a Windows computer. The software at home is SDR Console also installed on a Windows computer and with the screen mounted directly above my station. I can broadcast with the station at home and listen to interference-free reception with waterfall and spectrum scope from the remote station. Remote control of antenna contacts in case of thunder. Around the remote station, there is a collaboration with Åmål Municipality so that it can be used in social crises. At the moment we are working on a solution to be able to control it via radio link and thus be independent of the internet. Reserve power for the power supply is also underway. The station also has a special signal - 8S6K

QRolle Here are some pictures and information about the QRolle Classic that I built. QRolle Classic is a QRP station for SSB on the bands 20m and 80m. It can also be easily further developed for CW traffic. OROlle is designed by SM6DJH Olof Holmstrand. All construction information is available on the internet, so it is still possible to build your own QRolle. The page where all the information is available is http://qrolle.thulesius.se/ Visit the page and be inspired to build your own QRolle.

The radio workshop Welcome to my radio workshop! Here I repair and service our stations and accessories. My business is at a hobby level as I have a regular job during the day so repairs and service are only accepted to the extent of time and desire. I also choose the type of repairs I undertake depending on the availability of service manuals and spare parts and costs associated with the repair. Old cb-radios should preferably stay at the owners home when the ravages of time and screw-happy novices often put the radio in a condition that is not worth repairing. You are always welcome to contact by using the contact form at the bottom of the page. You can also contact me if you repair/modify on a slightly simpler level yourself and need support. In that case, write your phone number in the contact form and I will call you when the opportunity arises. An IC-7300 on the repair bench Tips from the coach. If you do not have full control and the right instrument park, never open the station to repair, mod or "tune" it. Never go into hidden service menu to "trim" it. Don't touch anything that works! Use well-tuned antennas, preferably antennas in resonance or close to resonance. All contacts and connections in the antenna system must be well connected and with good contact. Make sure you have no RF currents back to the shack. In case of high mismatch in the antenna system, use an external tuner instead of the radio's built-in one. For long transmit cycle digital modes, do not run at full power. Do not build the radio in such a way that the radio's fan cannot get rid of the hot air from the station. When connecting power amplifiers, modems, microphones or other non-original peripherals, ensure that all connections are correctly configured. If the radio is not working as it should, do a factory reset before you decide to send it in for repair.
