In his early twenties during World War II, he lived in the remote mountain village of Hjerkinn, working at the railroad station high above the treeline when Germany invaded Norway.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1rem;\"><b>He joined the resistance movement and built radios using parts from a downed Luftwaffe aircraft\u2014mainly the radio tube, as seen in the photos I\u2019ve attached. With it, he secretly tuned into broadcasts from London. It was a risky and courageous act, but it kept him and others informed when access to truthful news was critical.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1rem;\"><b>Later, he introduced me to the world of radio. As a kid, I spent hours scanning ham bands, police channels, and even unencrypted cellphone calls. I was probably way too young to be listening to some of it, but in the pre-smartphone era, it felt innocent enough. That early exposure sparked a lifelong passion for electronics and radio\u2014one that still defines me today.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"><b>A few weeks ago, I visited my mom and saw one of the wartime radios he built. I thought this group might appreciate it\u2014not just as a relic, but as a story of ingenuity, resistance, and the enduring magic of radio.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\">\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/a\/AVvXsEhFp59zH8rTMt67ba6PVFP3Mh8XVO-NU2wGQPVskufbV9zfiq9WzKYuTpYvy87xWawd_H_vCiJxoSfYscoz-3HlCVbCokZW4YayYtzvpQF1_dWKnwPvQCQrLuojQxLmQL0j3cbCOAbY4MYtn_0Y-07mqMrva6UiF1HCoHM8aT3bhFXffqI_QVH8cAd4FMo\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-original-height=\"1379\" data-original-width=\"1080\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homebrewradio.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image_1753086389.png\" width=\"313\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0px;\"><b><br \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Jim VE1KM for alerting us to steeljo&#8217;s story.
