Hello and welcome to my QRZ.com page. It probably means that we had or having a qso or you are just curious about me. I have been interested in electronics all my life. Built my first receiver at an age of about 12-13 years old. With help of a local HAM I got a beat oscillator installed and suddenly SSB became understandable. The interest for amateur radio was born. Educated electronic engineer in the Norwegian Air Force where I worked until I retired.

Got my licence 1968 and started with home build equipment but after some years it also became some factory build equipment.

The main interest is DX and Contest, but a nice talk with old friends is also appreciated.

                            
This is a picture of my Island. Have some problems with the mountain behind me. (Also my QSL card).

My working condition are:

Yaesu FT-2000 tranceiver which can also act as a SDR panadapter radio. I have installed RF-space IF-2000 IF card, LP-PAN 2 and Power SDR-IF. Gives me a panoramic view with point and click capabilities. CW-skimmer is also intergrated. LPB2 and Micro KEYER II is connecting all together to a nice working setup and gives me access to all DIGI modes. The Power amplifier is Kenwood TL-922 which I have modified to be a straight forward grounded grid amplifier. Giving me a solid kW.

The picture showes my setup.

My "antenna farm".

Optibeam OB 9-5. 20,17,15,12 and 10m bands. Verticals and inverted V`s for 80 and 40m bands.

From time to time you can hear me as TA4/LA6UL from my appartment in Mamuthlar (Alanya). Using for time beeing only a tranceiver and balcony antenna. Will be more sophisticated station as times goes.
