Biography

DOK: N 15

Hello, and thank`s for visiting my page after we had a nice QSO.
When i start our beautiful hobby in 1978 as an SWL, i was infected with the virus "RF" and until now, i never
had a chance to stop this addiction - fortunately hi hi. I´m sure, this big friendship gives me the power i need,
to endure the rest of everyday life. Is it to you too ?

Here are a few details:

Running a Kenwood TS-690S on shortwave with different dipoles and wires, loadet at about 16 meters above ground,
and a TM-733E for VHF/UHF bands - using groundplanes and a yagi - at the moment without any linear amp.
In addition there are several HTs. For better shortwave performance, i use a Lingua Speech Extractor - noise reduction system,
but only from time to time, because my TS-690S is doing a fine job without the Lingua.

My QTH is a small town near Paderborn, around 70km south of Bielefeld, called "Bad Wünnenberg" (JO41IM). Located in a valley,
i cannot see the horizon, witch complicates my operation on the higher bands slightly - but i do my best



You can call me.

on my home repeater DB0PB (438.975 MHz - Echolink Node Nr: 200819) or 28.310 MHz at 18:00 UTC
