QSL NDB BL-421 Borlänge Airport

October 1, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

From 23rd – 25th September I participated in another Coordinated Listening Event. This time the challenge was to try to log a beacon on each frequency between 275 and 425 kHz. So maximum 151 NDBs. In total I logged close to 380 beacons on 127 different frequencies.
Of course I try to get a couple of QSLs in return for this effort and like last time I decided to focus on Sweden (there is no way that I’m going to send out 380 reception reports!). The first QSL came in today from Borlänge Airport. NDB BL-421 is located 1132 km from my home QTH.

QSL NDB WU-329 and VNA-364 Umea Airport

September 13, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 3 Comments

Swedavia at Umea Airport sent me a confirmation having received my reception report of NDB WU-329 and VNA-364. I am afraid that I can’t actually call this one a QSL… it is more a “thank you” and polite referral to LFV “Luftfartsverket”. LFV is the organization that remotely operates 16 airports from four control centres in Sweden: ATCC Stockholm, ATCC Malmö, RTC Stockholm and Östgöta Kontrollcentral (ÖKC).

With 1566 and 1578 kilometers from my home QTH these rank pretty high in terms of distance.

QSL NDB KM-366 Kalmar Öland Airport

September 4, 2023 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

Using the PskovNDB software I received so many new beacons during the SQUEEZE100 event that I did not know where to start sending QSL requests. I decided to target Lithuania, Sweden and Croatia as you can find good address information on the web.

Mr. Filip Wiberg, Chief Operations ATS Kalmar (filip.wiberg(at)acr-sweden.se), was so kind to QSL NDB KM-366 for Kalmar Öland Airport. Located on the east coast of Sweden this beacon is 894 kms from my home QTH.
