Biography

Born in 1974, after beeing SWL for a very long time I finally got licensed in 2015.

Interested in almost everything around weak signal operation and in building antennas. Also very interested in technical experiments regardless of whether digital or analog, whether SDR or classic analog radio hardware.

In our club (E13 Hamburg-Alstertal) we yearly prepare 10 people in average (up to 18) for the highest german amateur radio Class (A) in our training course and we teach CW to whom is interested in. Having our main club station (DL0AT) in a public school building helps promoting amateur radio in it's technical and social aspects to young students.

For QSL DIRECT, no SAE IRC or green stamp required. Just send me yours first via postal mail, then I'll send you mine in return.
