Hello There !!  You are tuned in on the homepage of OZ8ABE a.k.a. Bo Soegaard.  This site is made by a radioamateur for radioamateurs.  73 and I hope to CU on the bands.....

I have been HF licensed since early 1991 and worked all countries around the World.

Sum are all bands from 10 to 160m. (Update on May. 19, 2012).

 The general idea with this homepage is to have a log search: (TNX N6RT)

If you thought you were in log, but not found it could be a result of a typo, my poor CW reception, I've been to lazy to update this page. Just send me a mail and I look into it. If you need OZ on any bands between 6 and 160m CW, SSB, RTTY, SSTV or PSK31,  mail me and we can try to set up a sked.

I only enter the first QSO on each band/mode in log unless something rare stuff occur (like new county, aurora condx, mobile operation). Cards will be send 1 or 2 times a year to the OZ bureau from here.  

QSL sure via the bureau (typical 7.000 every year) unless:
1) You said you don't QSL via the bureau.
2) I found unconfirmed from year 2005 or before and don't want to bore you with cards anymore

QSL also ok direct with a SASE to Bo Soegaard, Storlingevej 10, DK-4700 Naestved, Denmark.  It takes $2.50 to send a letter outside EU and € 2 in EU.  Postage have increased a lot from April 1. 2011 (no joke).

Latest news on 60m in OZ:

I'm on my second year on 60m using Yaesu FT-2000, 1/4 wave sloper fed in 22m and 1 kW.   I have worked 74 DXCC entities on the "new" band.  You need to obtain a special license from the Danish Telecom Agency to operate on 60m (CEPT won't do) and have to pay an annual fee for the band.  In March 2010 I received a new license that allows me to use the entire band from 5.250-5.450 (VFO, not channals) with 1 kW and all modes.    60m licenses are still on a trial and time limit basis, so far to 2012.

2M

If you worked me on 2m or 70 cm I must admire your RX capacity.  I'm using a FT-847, 50W into a Combi log which is "an aircooled dummyload"  with 14 elements on 1 (one) m bom, weight 1 kg.....

My TX QTH is about 40 miles/60 km South of Copenhagen near Naestved, still on EU-029 or SJ001 in JO55VF grid..
If you want to see how it looks like in this part of Denmark then check Surroundings in the link area on top of this page.

I'm hunting DX, band modes, IOTA (wkd:997), Grids on 6m (wkd:918), US states (still need many on 60m mainly Midwest and Westcoast) and counties (wkd: 2173).
10-X number: 54258.
