I have been licenced as LA9NKA since august 2003. Before that I held the callsign LC3HAT from december 1995.
 
In the period from 01.04.2014 to 31.12.2014 I was using the special callsign LI9NKA for the bicentennial of the norwegian constitution (1814-2014). (Visit this page for more information. Online log for LI9NKA).
 
QSL policy: 100% on LoTW and eQSL. I am currently all out of paper QSL cards, so cards received via bureau or direct will not be replied until I get new cards printed, which will take some time. All bureau/direct cards received as of april 2022 has been replied to.
 
My QTH is on Røtinga island, a small island in the west coast of Norway, about 30 km south from the city of Bergen.

I am using the excellent software CQRLOG for my logbook, running under Ubuntu Linux,
integrated with the online log service of HamQTH.com.

My setup in the "shack" (sept. 2017), from the left, the Icom IC-7100 and IC-7400, the Zetagi 1240 psu 
(now changed to the MSE1231), the Heathkit SB-1000 PA, and the SM-20 mic on the desk. 
On the far left is the modified controller for the Yaesu G-450C antenne rotator, with the IC-T2H and
TH-UVF9 on top. On top of the IC-7100 base unit (behind the display) is the LDG IT-100 tuner, with the 
Nissei RX-403 swr/pwr meter on top. On top of the IC-7400 is the Watson W-220 swr/pwr meter.
On the back wall, the coaxial "spaghetti" with three CO-201 2-way antenna switches, and the 
MFJ-4712RC remote controlled 2-way switch, capable of switching 3 antennas between 2 radios.
 
 
My main base station antenna, a homemade combined 6m (3-el), 10m (3-el), and 15m (1-el/dipole) 
Yagi beam (based on DK7ZB "open sleeve" design), with a Diamond X-300 2m/70cm vertical on top:
Another view of the antenna mast as of august 2020, now with the new homemade dual-band
