SMFF-1098 Nacka-reservatet, Nacka Swedish Flora Fauna Radio activity

I tried to use the two 299 meter high TV / FM Radio masts in Nacka as deflectors to reach Flora Fauna radio stations. 40m band was this late afternoon reaching mostly German (DL / DF) stations and 20m gave good DX contacts. Transmitting using 5 Watt SSB on 7080 MHz and it gave good results for non Swedish stations.

The Nacka nature reserve is huge in size. I deployed my portable station west the TV transmission station and it was sunny and warm.

The Nacka nature reserve area includes small lakes, with a natural setting typical of the southern Stockholm area. There are pine trees, rocky outcrops, and wetlands with small brooks. The area is used for several outdoor activities like walking and jogging, orienteering, mountain biking, skiing, ice skating and more.

59.29750°N 18.17306°E (north mast)
59.29611°N 18.17639°E (south mast)

The Nacka transmitter was the first Swedish permanent TV transmitter. It was placed on a 56 m height 15 september 1956. The current mast was erected in 1965 and the second one 1984. The transmissions reached miljons of Stockholm inhabitants. They get more than 50 digital tv-channels, 11 analog and 8 digital FM radio channels from here.

All the best!
