Biography

Thank you very much for looking up my callsign. I have been licensed since 1981, starting with DD9IP ( Klasse C ) and upgraded to DF2UT ( Klasse B ; Class-1) in 1982.

I am a member of DARC and JARL.

For those who collect also German DOKs: I belong to DOK K17 (Speyer). If you have a time don`t miss to check out the HP of this lovely and historic city.

I am QRV from 80m to 10m band. Most of my time I am spending on 20m and 17m in JT65A, PSK and OLIVIA, or on 40m in CW.

I am mainly activating 7J1ADS in Yokohama, Japan. Please don`t miss to have a look at my HP on QRZ.COM

ATTENTION: = PLEASE QSL ONLY via 7J1ADS ( bureau or direct ) =

I am not a big fan of eQSL and want them to be understood only as a preconfirmation to our QSO! Therefore I only consider a QSO officially confirmed by exchanging QSL cards via bureau or direct. So please kindly respect this rule and refrain from sending me Emails asking me to apply for authenticity guaranteed status of my callsign.

All QSL cards via bureau or direct reaching me will be 100% replied. Also SWL reports are most welcome! You don`t need to enclose any money or stamps in your direct QSL, but a self-addressed envelope would be highly appreciated. It will be my pleasure to reply any direct QSL on my own, because it`s all about give and take in ham spirit.

You also have the opportunity to check my online log: http://www.hrdlog.net/ViewLogbook.aspx?user=DF2UT

Along with LOTW it is being updated on a monthly basis.

Please also feel free to send me an Email for any technical discussion or know-how exchange.

Equipment

I am running in average 50 watts into a GAP TITAN DX mounted on the garage, ca. 4,5m above ground. My rig is a Yaesu FT-450AT connected to a MicroKEYER USBIII.
