About
Me
My name is SA6HAM, but people keep calling me Mikael for some reason. Mikael Grön.
Pause after pause
I’ve been a ham since and it’s been a total blast. Well except for a long pause that started in 2018. I have been active again since I got introduced to DMR ago. Well except for a long pause that started in 2022. I’ve been back in the hobby again for now.
I’ve built a couple of antennas and done a lot of listening, but - sadly - so far my only QSOs have been on two meters and DMR. I’ve CQ:ed for an hour in total, which is way too little - I know - but the people I hear are all speaking Italian or Russian so it’s really scary. Or that was the case on HF at least. It’s a bit different on DMR. I guess it’s because people know they can reach further than the local area so more people are speaking English. I got my first couple of international DMR QSOs right after I got on DMR, but then it’s been quiet. I guess I need to get out more.
