LA7GIA

I got into amateur radio during my university studies in Trondheim, Norway and was first licensed in 1992. I was active in the clubstation LA1K between 1991-1995, also as a QSL manager.

I moved to Oslo in 1996 after I completed my studies. In 2003-2005 I had a QTH at Skeikampen close to the olympic city of Lillehammer. In 2006 I had a temporary QTH at Jevnaker, 60 km north of Oslo. From late 2006 I got my recent QTH in Nittedal overlooking the capital Oslo (300 m asl). My QTH is just halfway between Oslo city center and the international airport. I enjoy CW DXing and contesting and operate on all bands 160-6m mostly CW, some digitial and if needed SSB to catch a new slot or mode. My equipment consists of
