JW - SVALBARD, EU-026
After the accidental death of JW5NM his widow Inger,JW8KT, is prepared
to continue making the JW5E-hut available for guests of the club- and
contest station JW5E. The new managing director of Telenor on Svalbard
is Harald,JW7XM. Inger plans to remain on the island for the next six
years, until she retires. The hut is primitive with no running water or
toilets. Inger will provide water for basic hygiene and cooking. There
is an electric stove and a refrigerator so you can prepare simple meals
WC is available at the nearest hotel (SAS Radisson). Three to four
people can sleep in the hut but you must bring your own sleeping bags.
The station is equipped with a TS870 transceiver, an old ICOM 2KL (not
working on 30m), a 3 ele Fritzel tribander, dipoles for 160m, 80m, 40m
and 30m. If you are interested to rent the hut and station you can
contact Inger via e-mail (ibjerr@online.no). Donations in form of new
equipment are welcome. Perfect would be a new automatic amplifier and
a new beam covering 10-40 meters! Harald,JW7XM, is also willing to make
himself available for visiting hams. His e-mail is harald@fagermoen.com
