Born
in 1958, a DX-er since 1972 and specializing in
MW DX especially towards North America and Asia/Pacific.
Best catches? Oh my, how to choose. Let’s pick
these three: KJAN Atlantic IA 1220, 178 watts day,
62 watts night. ABC Hobart 936, my first and so
far only in-band Tasmanian station at almost 15,500
km. SIBC Voice of the Nation from Honiara, Solomon
Islands on the very noisy 1035 kHz.
My radio
shack has evolved from conventional receivers to
exclusively SDRs. My current line-up at my KONG
HQ comprises four Perseus SDRs with Jaguar software
for MW DX and three SDRPlay RSPdx for FM DX (mostly
using HDSDR for the GUI). Another
Perseus is set up at the Smøla HQ in mid-Norway.
Since I live in quite a different place, I use remote
control to access my equipment.
I have a son, Henning, born in
1989 who currently lives in Trondheim.
I work as an area planner for
the Transportation Department of Finnmark County.
My workplace is 48,600 square km or 18,800 square
miles! I currently live in Vadsø, the county
capital, a 170 km drive from the KONG HQ.
