Born in 1961, active as a radio amateur since 1976. I am living with my family near Munich,
Bavaria, in the beautiful southern part of Germany.

I am the managing director of my own electronics company, producing LED illumination systems.

Main amateur interests are digital modes such as RTTY, BPSK31, MFSK,JT65 and FSK441.
Currently I am running a FLEXRADIO-5000 Software Defined TRX with an ACOM 1010 linear
amplifier (800 Watts) on short wave with a TITANEX DLP-11 ele Logarithmic Periodic Antenna
and some full size dipoles for 80m and 40m on top of my roof.

For VHF/UHF I use a Kenwood TS-790S with a linear amp 400 watts and a 2 x17 ele yagis as
well as some verticals for short range communication over repeaters. I am QRV in SSB, CW,
WSJT and JT65 on tropo and FSK441 for meteor scatter.

I am the builder and sysop of two repeaters in the Munich area with EchoLink connection.
One is DB0EL-R on the TV Tower (Node #7385) and the other is DM0ZB-L in Munich-East
(Node #7380).
