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 current QSL card (since may 2014):
 
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 
Yagi for 2m (4-el) and 70cm (5-el), mounted on a bracket abt. 4m agl:

My mobile station setup, an Icom ID-E880 d-star capable vhf/uhf radio, mounted "hidden" in a box in the
