Morten Kvernmoen – LB8DC (ex LA9DFA)   I was born into this world in 1965, and started playing with electronics and radios in the early 1980’s. I was licensed in 1986 as LB8DC. At that time, this was a novice license and I was limited to use 15w output and only CW. Soon I upgraded my license to a full license and got the callsign LA9DFA with higher privileges.

I was born in Lesvos Island in 1950. At the moment I am living in Glyfada which is a municipality close to Athens.

Since I’m working in the medical field at a hospital, I appreciate the importance of Emergency Communication. When the ARRL promoted… Continue reading →

My name is Roberto “Bob”, callsign PB5X.  I love to DX on HF and meet up with people all over the world. In the last couple of years I had the oppurtunity to not only meet some hams on the airwaves but also face to face. For that reason I had several eyeball QSO’s with stations in HS0, YB0, YB9, 9H, PA, A61, ON, K1, I, LX, MJ …. So with this great hobby the sky is the limit (literally as i flew with Jerry PH9HB/AM to 9H 😉 ). I also love to call into several pile ups to work that special rare DXCC… Continue reading →
