About

My name is Bjørn and I hold the ham radio call sign LB1GB. I’m located in Oslo, Norway. I mostly do QRO from our contest station LA8W/LN8W in Rakkestad, but on occation I “fire up” my QRP rig.

My QRP rig is a Elecraft KX1 ultra portable CW rig. My operations are very sporadic. Sometimes I put up a temporary antenna off my balcony to work a few contacts. Lately I do more and more portable operation, mostly SOTA(Summits on the Air) orientated, but to be honest I’m not very active. But I’m trying though, it’s good exercise!

KX1 serial number #975
Built by LA2MOA

Primary interest is HF contesting from our station LA8W/LN8W in Rakkestad. See http://la8w.com for details. Lately I have picked up Geocaching which very well go hand in hand with SOTA activity.

And by the way; I don’t blog much. Just once in a while.
