DE BESTE av Nordahl Grieg Døden kan flamme som kornmo; Klarere ser vi enn før Hvert liv i dens hvite smerte: Det er de beste som dør. De sterke, de rene av hjertet Som ville og våget mest; Rolige tok de avskjed, En etter en gikk de vest. De levende styrer verden, En flokk blir alltid igjen, De uunnværlige flinke, Livets nest beste menn. De beste blir myrdet i fengslet, Sopt vekk av kuler og sjø. De beste blir aldri vår fremtid. De beste har nok med å dø. Slik hedrer vi dem, med avmakt, Med all den tomhet vi vet, Men da har vi sveket de beste, Forrådt dem med bitterhet. De vil ikke sørges til døde, Men leve i mot og tro. Bare i dristige hjerter Strømmer de falnes blod. Er ikke hver som har kjent dem Mer rik en de døde var – For menn har hatt dem som venner Og barn har hatt dem til far. De øket det livet de gikk fra. De spøker i nye menn. På deres grav skal skrives: De beste blir alltid igjen.

From: "Tom V. Segalstad" <[email protected]> NRRL President LA7OF SK NRRL members were shocked this morning to learn that their NRRL President LA7OF Thormod Böe died this morning. (His international friends and colleagues had problems pronouncing his first name, and called him "Tom".) Thormod was born in 1940, and died today at the age of 71. He has been a licensed radio amateur with the call LA7OF for some fifty years. All his professional life he worked with radio regulation matters. First with the Norwegian Telecommunications Authority, and the years before his retirement as the Director of the European Radio Office in Copenhagen. He was thanked by radio amateurs all over world after the World Administrative Radio Conference in Geneva 1979, WARC-79, where he was instrumental in obtaining 3 new world-wide amateur radio bands at 30, 17 and 12 meters, the so-called WARC-bands. After his retirement he moved back to Norway. He bought a house in the town Horten some 100 km southwest of Oslo. Here he enjoyed putting up antennas, and enjoyed amateur radio. He also enjoyed operating as TZ6BOE from an expedition to Mali. In 2008 he was elected President of NRRL, an office he held until his death today. He was also Chairman of the local Horten Group of NRRL until his death. And he was the current Grand Master of Norwegian Radio Amateurs' "The Order of the Golden Key". Our thoughts go to his XYL Brit and family. Oslo, 21 March 2011 Tom V. Segalstad (LA4LN) NRRL HF Traffic Manager

Thormod “Tom” Bøe, LA7OF, of Horten, Norway, passed away on Monday, March 21. He was 71. Bøe was President of the Norsk Radio Relae Liga (NRRL), Norway’s IARU Member-Society.
Bøe actively worked for the Amateur Radio cause throughout his adult life in both a private and professional capacity. For many years, he worked on spectrum management matters with the Norwegian administration, was extremely active in CEPT and ITU forums and served as Director of the European Radiocommunications Office (ERO) in Copenhagen from 1998-2006.
“Tom was particularly active at WARC-79 and was instrumental in securing many of the frequency allocations that we all enjoy using on a daily basis,” said Dave Court, A92IO/G3SDL. “In all these activities, he always kept an eye on what he could do to contribute to Amateur Radio.” Court was Bøe’s predecessor as ERO Director.
ARRL Chief Executive Officer David Sumner, K1ZZ, remembered Bøe fondly: “Tom was the spokesman for Norway in Committee 5, which was responsible for all frequency allocations -- and I do mean all, as the entire radio spectrum was under review at WARC-79. Norway was an outstanding supporter of Amateur Radio at the conference, and Tom was recognized as the ‘most valuable delegate’ by the IARU team.”
Sumner said it was “a great privilege to know and work with Bøe in Geneva during WARC-79, and on subsequent occasions during his decades of distinguished service to the ERO and the NRRL. His countless colleagues throughout the world share the grief and loss, as well as many fond memories of his friendship and achievements.”
An avid CW operator, Bøe enjoyed experimenting with antennas. He was also very active in his local Amateur Radio group in Horten, just south of Oslo.

It is sad to hear of the passing of Thormod Boe. I have written a letter to the secretary of NRRL expressing the condolences of the SARL.
I remember meeting Thormod in Lillehammer in 1999 and again in Davos in 2005.
In Lillehammer he assisted me in finding a member of the Norwegian Antarctica team who had handed over the Norwegian base to South Africa in 1960. The radio operator of the South African team, Martin du Preez, ZS6ZY, had asked me to find out if this person was still around. The SARL team met this gentlemen (he was a radio amateur) at Oslo airport before we left for South Africa, and I could give him Martin’s contact details. I do know that he and Martin did make contact.
I also remember him telling us at the gala dinner in Lillehammer that the reindeer meat on the menu does not come from the reindeer of Santa Claus!
Greetings
Dennis, ZS4BS

Til NRRL
Ved LA7OF’s død
Meddelelsen om Thormod Bøe, LA7OF’s bortgang har berørt EDR dybt, og vi kondolerer NRRL for tabet af sin præsident.
Thormod var en kendt skikkelse i den internationale televerden gennem sit job hos Teledirektoratet, og sin livslange deltagelse i ITU-konferencer. Han sluttede sit arbejdsliv som leder af European Communication Office, ECO’s kontor i København fra 1998 til 2006. I Danmark havde Thormod kaldesignalet OZ7BO.
Thormod var gennem hele livet en ivrig radioamatør, og havde en positiv indstilling til radioamatørernes ønsker i sine poster såvel hos Teledirektoratet, i ITU og ECO. Mange af de forbedringer som amatørbevægelsenhar opnået, har Thormod en væsentlig andel i.
I vore forhandlinger med den danske teleadministration har vi ofte henvist til og dermed draget nytte af de fordelagtige resultater, som norske radioamatører har opnået.
Vore tanker går til Brit og familien.
Æret være Thormod Bøe, LA7OF’s minde.
