Biography

Hello

My name is Håkon Andreassen and I currently live in Moss, which is a town situated some 60 km south of Oslo, the capital city of Norway.

I was born in 1943 and I have experienced a lot during my life. I sailed the seven seas as an able seaman for many years, visiting places all over the world. But now i am retired after my 67 year age and get my pension , mymain interest is toreading the Holy Bible, and live life according to the written word . But otherwise , i have interest in language as appropriate to the Radio hobby.

I have always been interested in radio communication, and I have been on the air for many years, I get my callsign in 05-05-1997 ,but it wasn't until 1998 that I received my full, A-class radio callsign - LA1YKA after CW-Examinaion.I am proud of that achievement, as I find it hard to concentrate when I am reading - also a result of the traffic accident some years ago.
