Education is certainly important as a radio amateur.
On the link below I came across a website with free English courses.
With many modules including the field of IT (886 different courses).
For example programming, Arduino, Microsoft, Unix, computer networks etc.

I advise you not to give your business or real private email address to them.
But just a temporary email address. Since they send regular emails with offers, tips about their training, etc.
For the rest, quite a great opportunity to get an education for free.

Anyway, good luck with it!

Edwin PD1EVL has repaired the 2-meter beam that is always on the bunker.
Several pieces of the aluminum tube have been replaced.
The antenna works perfectly again.

Sunday we placed the antenna in the green tower on the bunker.
In a fixed position directly to the United Kingdom because the rotor must still be overhauled.

Click on the picture to view the enlarged photograph.

The previous time we worked a great deal of time in and around the bunker:

The old emergency lighting has been replaced by led strips.

A camera system has been assembled, so that we can see what happens in and around the bunker at any time.

Also the sponsored cable boxes of Paree in the bunker have been assembled.

For the complete report and photographs, click on read more.

Last Sunday 19-April several things have been carried out in the bunker:

The preparations were committed to let down the 20M the antenna.

A little crane has been placed in the cage on the tower. On this crane, a winch had been fitted so we could lower the antenna down.

In the future, it will be easier to do maintenance (lift-up things and lower things).

We were able to see that several elements are loose a lot, We fixed them all together for the sake of safety.

Further, the lightning in the conversation room is modified with new halogen bulbs.

Also, the wires of the bulbs where damaged this has also been solved.

Thanks to Pieter for writing this article.

In the year 2010 year, we have participated in the PACC contest from PI4VLI Location.

Take a look at the Youtube video!

The international space station ISS gets a new atom clock!
Which registers the time much more exactly than existing equipment for time recording.
That was communicated by the European space travel organization ESA Tuesday.

The clock has a maximum deviation of 1 second in three hundred millions year time.
Japan will install the new equipment at the beginning of 2013 at the ISS.
With the atom clock, scientists want to examine the relativity theory of Albert Einstein.

From 6 November Norwegian amateur radio enthusiasts can use three new bands, they are a part of the 40-meters band.
Now the primary use of the 40-meter band will be for radio amateurs.
There are also plans about a frequency extension on the 12-meters band.

Norwegian amateurs have until now secondary user rights on 60-meters (5.260-5.410 MHz), 600-meters band (493-510 kHz) and for five block-systems in the 4-meters (70 MHz) band.

The area of 7,100 up to 7,200 MHz has become primary for amateur radio use with a maximum capacity of 1000 is Watt PEP.

There will also be modifications in the SHF and EHF area.
We see that more and more countries permit the use of 4-meter band (50 Mhz).

The 4-meter band is interesting because it is just like 6-meter a very good band for mobile stations.

Success with working in Norway!
