Amateur radio from the Norwegian outdoors — SOTA summits, POTA parks, antenna experiments, and the occasional software detour.
My latest project is Kallesignal.no, an online course in Norwegian, built from my LA2T course slides, that takes you all the way to the amateur radio licence exam. It has 129 short lessons, animations you control yourself, and mock exams built like the real one.
How we decoded the Modbus-over-BLE protocol used by the HC BMS Android app, including the GATT layout, the six polling requests, frame formats, and the OTA bootloader trap that almost bricked our session.
While being under the weather, I spent some time doing POTA and SOTA hunting. The existing tools are pretty good, but I always felt it would be great to see activations on a map, not just a list. So, I created an app for that: SpotMap.
My Xiegu G90 has served me well, but I longed for more so now I am the proud owner of a Yaesu FT-710 and a Yaesu FT-891
Again I had a 9 km hike up to the summit of Storkluken (LA/ST-327) and after 23 QSOs I also got the "First Activation" badge. The weather started out great, but after a while threatening clouds gathered in the horizon and it started to snow.
