Søvang is the name of a little estate of 0,7 ha: Hobrovej 41, 9632 Møldrup, in Himmerland at the SW corner of Hale Sø, into which I invested my savings in 2003 after having got my teacher's pension, and Birte could take her time quietly to finish her saying good-bye and selling of Hinding Dås without stress of leaving and moving. We had liked life in Hinding and the neighbourhood there very much, so still we felt it like a surprise when Birte in 2006 had most of her life job: the family hotel in Hinding sold We moved the rest of things to Søvang on the 15th of March 2006 and still we feel well and happy for that. - Nature round here is much different to what we were used to at Tved plantage and the nature reservation area at Nors sø in Thy. But it is something new and inspiring to both of us, and which is easier for us in daily life than the big estate in Hinding. The farm houses are situated low in the landscape but idyllic at the lake.I realized at once that I would need a radio tower for my antennas to be able to work my radios on VHF og UHF. My parabolic antenne system for1296 MHz can not be used from fro here because of the higher landscape all round the qth. I had a hard time convincing authorities that I really needed an antenna tower, However EDR helped me a lot and after nearly a year with paper work I finally got the permission to build a mast of only 7,5 m. It was emphasized that otherwise it would spoil the environment ( not taller than the house and not to be seen from the lake....... The big high tension line ContiScan passes by the west end of the lake quite close to my qth.....see the map above) I have no noise trouble from the high tension line. - We are very fond of the small farm where the big buildings give lots of spare time possibilities. and where nature at the lake means rich bird life and the chance of a morning tour in the rowing boat.
