About me…
My name is Ole, I am a licensed HAM operator or as we call it in Norway “Radioamatør”. Operating as LA9GTA, I hold a full-privilege radio license. My foundational expertise in electrical systems and radio electronics spans nearly 35 years, though my current callsign was established further into my journey. This high-level credential meets the global HAREC standard—comparable to the US Amateur Extra license—and utilizes CEPT T/R 61-01 reciprocal agreements to give me active transmit access in around 50 countries across the globe.
Personally, I am pushing 50 years old, married to my beautiful wife, and together managing our active kids. We have chickens, cats and a dog. With higher education within Computer Science and electronics and a daily occupation as Senior Cyber Security Advisor.

Active Club Member / Operator…
As a licensed operator and proud member of LA2G, Gardermogruppen is my local radio home.
