SOTA activation of LA/ST-012 on International Workers’ day

On May 1st, we took a break from exam studying to celebrate International Workers’ Day with a SOTA trip to LA/ST-012 Solemsvåttan. The trip started at Studentersamfundet, where we packed our bags before we took the bus to Reppe to start our hike. The bus took about 45 minutes, and after about an hour of hiking we reached the top. Emil, LB6GH and LB1HH arrived later, biking to Reppe instead of taking the bus....

The QSOs of 2025

Last year, we did a recap of the QSO statistics for the year. We found it interesting, so we did the same this year. The QSOs are not exactly evenly distributed throughout the year. Instead, a few weeks account for a large proportion of the total QSOs. There are two weeks with more than 2000 QSOs and 5 weeks with more than 1000 QSOs....

We Celebrated International Women’s Day with a YL POTA Party!

When International Women’s Day fell on a Sunday, the YL POTA Party gave us the perfect excuse to celebrate the way ARK knows best: by getting on the air. With more female members now active in the club and our own female club callsign, LA1YLS, it was simply too good an opportunity to miss. We therefore invited the club to join us in the park for an afternoon of radio....

SOTA Skitour to LA/NT-162 Lauvlia

For our first SOTA adventure of the year, we headed for LA/NT-162 Lauvlia. It is one of the many yet‑to‑be‑activated summits in Nord-Trøndelag in the Meråker area, about a 1.5‑hour drive from Trondheim. With fresh enthusiasm for the new year and conditions that looked stable enough for a winter activation, it felt like a fitting start to the new year....

SOTA Snow Tour to LA/ST-174 Jamtfjellet

It's snow season again, which is no excuse for not going on SOTA hikes. In fact, it's the perfect opportunity to finally get the skis and snowshoes out and enjoy the snow. On 6th December, we took our first SOTA trip of the season in the snow. LB5DH found a nice summit, which was twice activated before from LA9DSA in May 2020 and in April 2023....

Two weeks ago, the 31st of October marked the renaissance of a little tradition of our club: sending Feld Hell from Hell on Halloween! Our callsign-neighbor PC1K from the Netherlands pitched the idea to try "Hell-oween" again and to improve the turnout from last year, where we sadly didn't get a Hell-mode QSO. Our group started with LB3BK boarding the train at Marienborg all alone, and gained more and more members with each further station....
