Last Update on 2011-12-25

 

Stavros 5B4AFM visit me with his newly married XYL in 2008. Stavros and his Greek XYL lives in UK at present.
Nov 2007 - Kuny Nakada 7L1FPU and his YL from JA visited me. We had the time to visit Pinnawela Elephat Park during his (and mine) busy schedule.

Kuny is planning to come to SL often during his visits to the region. He has already applied for a 4S7 guest license. 

 

December 2003 – My good old friend from Norway Halvard LA7XK visited Sri Lanka with his XYL Anne Elizabeth for a 3 week holiday trip. Halvard got the local call 4S7XKG and operated some good Dx during his stay from the hotel.

 

I had the chance of going around with him to Kandy city and Pinnawela elephant orphanage. During my stay in Norway, I was invited to Halvard’s summer house located in the breathtaking islands of Hvalar, southern part of Norway.

 

In the picture, Halvard is in the middle and Sumith my colleague who was the driver is in the right.

July 2002 - SM5AQD Hakan Ericsson visited Sri Lanka on a business trip. It was a very limited time he had for eyeballing and ham radio activities. 

He is a very active top bander from Stockholm area. I had a chance of meeting him for a short eyeball QSO in Colombo.

The Most recent visitor known to me was VK6TF Ron. Ron has been a good friend of mine from VK for a long time. Unfortunately, I couldn't invite him to my home QTH since I was sitting for my final exam in the university when he visited Sri Lanka. But we had a gathering in Colombo organized by 4S7UB/KJ6UB for him

Recently 5B4MT Mike and his XYL visited my QTH. It was a short stay but atleast a good eyeball QSO.
