Biography

I was born 1965 in Gelsenkirchen, a town in the heart of the Rhine - Ruhr - Area in West Germany, were still I live today.

Sometimes In the second half of the 70th, my parents and I began with CB Radio, first with handhelds and later with a Station from Sommerkamp and a Vertikal Antenna on the roof and the callsign "Rallye2", given from my first Racebike.

While my Education to an Radio- and TV Technican in the early 80th, I heard many thinks anbout HAM Radio, because the teacher were / are active OMs.

After my study to an Electrotechnical Engeneer I worked some years before I changed to University of applied science in our Town, where now one my chiefs was an OM too. Because we teached such things as applied communication, Chipdesign, Digital Signal Processing, I decide to make my HAM Radio License in 2004.

The other part of my work is Physics and Medicinphysics, where the things above to be suitable and fields of electromagnetic waves are researched for imaging given medical systems.

In my little free time, when I do my homework around the house, I will do the HAM Radio, drive long persistant tours with my bicylce and perhaps in winter i plans and handcrafts at my model railway.

My actuell Station for SW is a Yaesu FTDX 3000, which is working over a LDG Autotuner to 5-Band Dipol DX-CC from Alpha Delta. For VHF and UHF I'm using a ICOM IC7000, which is working to a Diamond X-6000 Vertikal Antenna or a 2m and a 70cm Yagi Antenna.
This all is lifted up in the Air with a Telescopic Aluminium Tower to an Altitude of about 10 Meters.
The old BB-6 SW-Antenne is also mounted yet and can be swiched manually over a Box at bottom of the Tower.
