Status/info:

 


July 30th.  
Offline due to the fact that the monthly data traffic limit was reached. I probably have to set a daily limit. Sorry about that. Someone is using the receivers for a very long time on frequencies that are mostly inactive, in order to monitor channels in the Ukrainian-Russian war. If you need more listening time, please contact me. Real amateurs/DX-ers can get a bypass password from me for actual listening and communication.

I’m not very active myself at the moment, but I like to offer this service to you from a location in the forest with very little noise. It costs a little to run, as I have to pay for a 4G network connection solely for this purpose. If it were at my home with an unlimited internet connection, it would not be a problem, but the noise level there is terrible! But as mentioned, you are welcome to contact me if you need more time.

July 15th 2026

Just a few hours before midnight yesterday the electricity power went off for not known issue. Hope to resolve it today.

----------------------------------------------------

July 2026

These days there are often lightnings storms and the Kiwi's may be off for that reason.

----------------------------------------------------

June 28th 2026

Network issues found an solved. I hope it will more stable again now

--------------------------------------------------

June 27th 2026

The receivers goes often off line. We don't know exactly why, but suspect the 4G network to be unstable. As I'm not located at 

the same place it is a little bit difficult to check it out properly. The only I can do at the moment is restart the system remotely when

I discover it is off.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

June 20th 2026 13UTC. Heavy rain and thunderstorm just now. Electricity off in the region.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

June 3rd 2026: The Kiwi's goes off and off all the time. So we have to go to the QTH in the nearest days to try to find out what is going on.

It seems that it is some networks problems, but we have to go to the place to confirm, and try to fix the problems at the site.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

June 2nd. 2026: The last days we have some issues that seems to be regarding network problems / the 4G network, as it often loose it connections.

It's not the Kiwi's itself going off. And do send us an notifying e-mail if it is OFF. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Due to "irregular" (e.g.lightning) weather conditions our kiwisdr may go off from time to time. Internet network and electricity supply may be affected.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just now (27th Dec. 2025) we are without electricity power/supply so therefore the Kiwis are off.

28th Dec. 2025 Still without electricity. Don't know when it will be fixed. Heavy wind storm has gone over the region. Thousands without electricity. We do not know either if there are a problem as a consequence at the site too. At the moment we are not able to go to the place. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7th Jan. 2026  Yesterday we managed to get the Kiwi's at Julusdalen on air again. Today it has gotten off again. Sorry for that. The failure has to do with 

electrical issues after a storm in late December. We hope to fix it soon.

Julussdalen Kiwi SDR's

At Julussdalen just about 17 km from Elverum Norway, a place with little human-made noise, we have placed two Kiwisdr's. Both are connected via an antenna splitter from Mini-Circuits to a Wellbrook ALA 1530 LNP. Internet is provided from a 4G network. The whole system is powered by a linear power supply from Bel Power Solutions. Earlier we had the QTH even deeper into the forest. Then also with two more antennas, a beverage on ground and a dipole for 41 meters connected to an antenna switch. There is a possibility that we will have a beverage antenna again later this year (after European summer).
