Welcome to the SM2CEW webpage

This webpage i dedicated to amateur radio. Here you can find information about my station with pictures, but also download software and get ideas for home construction projects.

I operate on all bands from 160 mtr to 3 cm. CW is my main interest, however I do also dabble with other modes like SSB and AM frequently.

I am a proud member of FOC, CWOPS, SCAG, SMHSC, SKCC, LICW, BUGs and a few other CW oriented clubs. In my world CW is King!

Boat Anchor radios makes me smile, I enjoy both restoring and using them. Below you can find examples of my BA restoration work.

Moonbounce has been a major interest since the early 1980’s. I have made CW EME QSO’s on 10m, 2m, 70cm, 23cm, 13cm and 3cm. Working on adding 6cm to my CW EME activities.

Other VHF/UHF activities include tropo, aurora and meteor scatter QSO’s.

It still amazes me how people can enjoy fully automatic PC to PC communication in the form of FT8 and it’s derivatives. No personal interaction between humans, just a minimalistic cheating protocol designed to build scores for different awards. And don’t even try to convince me that unattended robot operation is part of the future of ham radio! Pathetic in every aspect of the word.

No FT8 or Q65!!
