My log is now online:

   as well as http://dx.qsl.net/logs/.

Please note that the online logs will be updated only every few months.

I have been in Saudi Arabia since January 1996 and work as a telecommunication consultant for the biggest telco in the kingdom. I hope to stay a few more years because I like people, country and work and, of course, being on air as 7Z1HL is always exciting.

I was first licenced in 1981 (DL8KAY) and when I moved to Saudi Arabia in '96, I missed amateur radio a lot until I received the licence for 7Z1HL in March 2006. The licence does currently NOT include 80m, 30m and 6m.

My station is an ICOM IC746Pro (100W) and antennas are a hexbeam (tnx to Mike Traffie) for 10, 12, 15, 17 and 20m and a Cushcraft R-8 vertical on top of my house mainly for 40m. Limited space does not allow me to get onto 160m. You may also meet me on the satellites which I try to work when time permits. My favorite mode is CW with more than 90% of my QSOs. However, I recently embraced the digital modes and you may find me more often in RTTY and PSK.

Every QSL for 7Z1HL via my manager Franz, DJ9ZB, or directly to me, will be answered. At this point a big thanks to Franz for his great job. I also regularly update LoTW, eQSL, logsearch.de and dx.qsl.net. (Please do NOT send any cards to DL8KAY, they will be lost!).

I am member of DARC (DL8KAY - DOK G36), AGCW (#3349), GDXF (#590), EPC (#8370) and CTC (#1452). I am proud that I achieved the LoTW-DXCC in CW.

Looking forward to meeting you on the bands
