  • SOTA: LA/BU-032 Stikkvannskollen

    SOTA: LA/BU-032 Stikkvannskollen

    Nice trip up Stikkvannskollen with its 361 meters above sea level. Well established tracks and the best signage I’ve come across on a SOTA trip so far! Didn’t stop yours truly from making a wrong turn on the way down though; causing an equal mix of annoyance and pride in my companion, who had suggested the…

  • SOTA: LA/TM-013 – Vestre Vealøs

    SOTA: LA/TM-013 – Vestre Vealøs

    Catching up on documenting my SOTA adventures. Walked up Vestre Vealøs on a nice and sunny last of August. Parked the car at Store Skifjell (59.211, 9.716) and followed the gravel road all the way to the top; a total of a little less then 360m elevation and a round trip of about 9km. Very…

  • LA1T NVIS portable activity

    LA1T NVIS portable activity

    Last Sunday of the month and time for portable NVIS with my local club, LA1T here in Tønsberg. Nice change of pace to focus on getting as much of the energy as possible straight up, as opposed to parallel to the ground like most of us normally do! I’ve had mixed experiences running NVIS from…

  • SOTA: LA/TM-001 Gaustatoppen

    SOTA: LA/TM-001 Gaustatoppen

    Oscar and I have been walking up this mountain every summer for the past five or six years now, continuously improving our time. So I was expecting this to be an easy ascent, and hoping for a slight improvement on last years 1 hour 45 minutes. No such luck; seems two and a half years…

  • SOTA Summit LA/AH-020 – Mjærskaukollen

    SOTA Summit LA/AH-020 – Mjærskaukollen

    Trying something new – since most of the people reading this does not read Norwegian, I’ll try the only other non-computer language I know! Spent the afternoon activating Mjærskaukollen with my 11 year old! Nice ascent, with no particularly challenging parts. We probably spent a bit more than an hour going up, and a little…

  • LA1T 10m ring
