The club house


Our meeting-place is the club house in Rönnbäcken where we are closest neighbour of Skellefteå Golf Course. For those unfamiliar with the surroundings of Skellefteå we have a simple description of the road with a map.

Description

The club house is a two storey building; on the ground floor there is a kitchen and a meeting room and on the top floor is the radio communication room and a storeroom. The house has electric heating, toilet but neither running water nor drainage.

Antennas

Outside the club house is a 30 meter high antenna tower for shortwave antennas and two smaller towers for the VHF and UHF antennas. Main antenna collection is:

Road description

If you start from the center of Skellefteå follow road E4 southwards towards Umeå. After about 1.5 km at the first traffic lights you turn right into road 364. Drive for about 4 km and look for a road sign "Rönnbäcken". Turn left into that road but don't drive as far as the golf course. Instead lookout for a small blue-white road sign that reads "SK2AU". Turn right into the small road and drive on until you see a small red house with far too many antennas. You're there!
