Picture above is from 3D2A / 3D2DX trip in 2011, mounting the 5 band Spiderbeam in Nadi, Viti Levu.
Born in the summer of 1964. Licensed since 1982. 
Grown up in the very south-western part of the country. Soenderjylland - and proud of it! Second language is German, and Nordfriesich/Platdütsch - and of course English.
Since April 2011 - Elecraft K3-driver! Love that RIG!
QSL MANAGER FOR OZ7A and OZ7AMG - just use the bureau, thats fine. If You need it for award etc. then to my adress above. Remember the IRC for return postage. Else I will just put it to the bureau .
I prefer good old fashioned QSL cards in my hand. It is always nice to see a good old fashioned QSL card from a DX-pedition isnt it? But I am uploading all to LOTW andeQSL, because I do very regular uploads!
  
JW/OZ1IKY - Svalbard trip 23 to 27 of July 2010 - See at the Bottom 
- All QSL cards have been shipped via bureau October 2010, eQSL.cc (AG) and LOTW has been uploaded

AWARDS - so farWAC, DXCC (200), WAS, WAE, WAZ, WPX (CW and SSB)
Working hard on the Worked All Japan (WAJA) and my 9 band DXCC

OZ5MAY
- the little WW-2 radio at the museum of the Danish Resistance. The radio is a thru replica of the original WW-2 radio! CW and 5-10 watts only and main bands are 40 and 30 meters, Ladies and Gentlemen! WW-2 QRP!!
OZ1RDN 
Oscar Zulu 1 Royal Danish Navy - The Fregate HDMS Peder Skram, now a museum ship. Using the old Navy Rigs! Up to 400 watts on HF, in to some nice GP's on the ship it self. Great Ground Planes (the whole harbour!) Great Operations Platform!
It's a visit worth, also for none Navy folks like me! She's a beuaty! EX-Army-dude' I am you know, which is told to me gently by the real Navy-people around here ;o)
www.pederskram.dk for more info - sorry mainly in Danish.
And sometimes just having fun with the hobby at fielddays or contest,
see fx. OZ5LKO www.oz5lko.dk (Loegumkloster - in Soenderjylland - one is still a bit local-patriot!) or OZ7AMG / OZ7A www.oz7amg.dk - or when we try to defend the colours in the IARU Contest .
Here as OZ1HQ on 40 meters SSB in 2009. And as one of the operators on 20 meters CW in 2010, 2011 & 2012.
SVALBARD - JULY2010
The 3 OZ's where OZ1AA (OY3AA) Thomas (Tom), OZ7AM, Alex and OZ1IKY Kenneth (thats me!).
We had some great times up there on Svalbard Island. Mathias JW5NM (SK) has made a great station up there. We just added a lot of fun and a GP for 30 and 17 meters to this set-up. Thanks to Jesper, OX3KQ for borrowing us the Ameritron transistor AMP. I guess with this AMP Alex made a lot of people happy on 30 meters with it!!
I mostly did 17 meters and at the end some great but strange 6 meter opening. I guess the position (78 north, 13 east) in JQ78 makes it strange anyway?
Yes - the groundplane in the water was our antenna for 17 meters (30 meter GP looked simular) - and yes we made all contacts "barefootted" 100 watts on 17 meters. Even got a QSO, as promised, with Fernando, Z21BB thru a pile-up on 17 meters with 100 watts.
QSL Cards are made by Tony LZ1JZ - Beautiful and high Quality - Thanks Tony! Beautiful Job!
I have of course uploaded my logbook on eQSL and LOTW.
FIJI - MARCH 2011
Oh boy! DXing from the other side of the Globe!
Not last time here - this was GREEEAAAT FUN! Thanks to Eddie VK4AN/3D2A and Rocky 3D2DD for all the help and compagnion-ship!
Thanks to Danish DX Group, Pacific DX'ers and Spiderbeam in Germany and the US for the great support
3D2DX made close to 4000 QSO's with a little IC-706 MKIIG and only 100 watts. Antennas were a Spiderbeam and a DX-88 about 18 to 25 meters over ground. So don't say that you need a KILOWATT to do anything seriously from the Pacific!! Made a lot of Europeans - actually over 34 procent of all QSO's - with 100 watt's only!!
In all the team (VK4AN & OZ1IKY) made over 10000 QSO, and participated in both the BARTG RTTY, a little in the RDXC and of course the CQ WPX SSB 2011 - A lot of first time QSO's on both 12 and 30 meter for many HAM's out there
BONAIRE - JANUARY 2012
DXpedition in a big size team! Woauh! And besides getting back the RTTY record; we had a lot of fun. The F6KOP Team was a great new expirience!
AZORES - SEPTEMBER 2012
This was not actually a big stile DXpedition. But more like an event to activate all 9 Ilsands of the Azores. And Alex OZ7AM and I was lucky to be a part of this event. Also lucky to be put on CU6 Pico Island with Jorge CU6AB as our host and actually great helper in many smaller an bigger things.

I enjoy designing devices for use in the shack. The main picture shows an electronic touch paddle, a project I started in April of 2011. It utilizes an 8 bit Microchip RISC processor. Specification for the design are as follows:
Dit / Dash sensor sample rate = 870 uS.
Power consumption @ 9 VDC = 800 uA typ. approx 750 - 800 hrs with standard 9V battery.
Auto shutdown timer of 20 minutes when battery powered. Touching a sensor resets the shutdown timer.
For supply voltages > 10V unit stays powered up no auto shutdown.
LED status for power up, power down and low battery level.
No adjustments necessary. On power up a calibration is perofrmed of both sensors, approx 100 mS total. A momentary switch is used to power on/off the unit. Due to the fast sampling rate of the sensors and fast response, touch to output state, I have no problem using this paddle at 50 WPM which is the max speed of my K3. Battery life is excellent due to the very low current consumption. I have not changed out my 9 volt battery in a year now. My usage is quite high.

For information on my end feed tuners take a look at : http://ham.aditl.com/ham-radio/techie-stuff/efhw-tuner/
I have been using this tuner design for the past 10 years now. I use a much smaller version for my low power and QRP operations.

Below is a picture of a single band tuner, 20M band, used to end feed the driven element of my 2el vertical wire yagi. It is capable of handling 2KW of power with extreamly low loss. Impedance transformation is 3000 ohms to 50 ohms.
