LA6EIA - Ole

I am married to Kari (LA8FMA) and have 2 boys, Olaf (14) and Haakon (10). I started with radio back in 1970 as a BC-DX'er with mediumwave DX towards North, Central and South America as my favorite areas. I have heard hundreds of AM-stations from this area the last 34 years and have verifications from 1090 stations in 180 countries. I got my first novice Ham licence in March 1992 (LB9MD) and did upgrade to LA6EIA August 1992. I have always been a fan of low-bands and I'm now working 80 and 160 meters.  I was one of the low-band operators on the S9LA dx-pedition in 2002.

OZ1FTU - Søren

I am 40 years of age and acheived my amateur radio license in 1979, 15 years old. Since then my main interest has been focused on VHF-UHF DX-work, but I have also spent some great time working the major HF-contests under the OZ9EDR and OZ5W. I have participated in a few 144Mhz DXpeditions to 4U1ITU, T7, TA, SV5, EA, OH&LA and a larger EME effort to Greenland in 2000, OX2K. In HF contesting I have been operating in CQWW and ARRL contests since 1989, starting with SSB but are now enjoying CW as the primary mode of operation. I have participated in two major CQWW contest DXpeditions, the first to Cuba, T49C, in 1997 and Greenland, XP1AB, in 2001. Besides my hobby as radio amateur I like to travel and try not to miss any opportunity to visit other amateurs around the world.
