About me
I´m licensed since january 1992 and my operator name is Rudi (born 1957).
My station is located in Herne, a city in the Ruhrarea (North Rhine - Westphalia) about 70 kilometers (approx. 44 miles) north of Cologne.
I like contests and DX. My preferred modes are SSB and PSK.

QSL Info
I don´t collect paper qsl cards anymore but I´ll confirm all my QSOs via QRZ.com (except contest QSOs), eQSL and HRDLog.
Every QSO (except contest/mobile/portable - QSOs) will be automatically uploaded to eQSL and HRDLog.
I prefer eQSL for confirmation (save time and trees).
I am not yet a member of bureau.

I am a supporter of the DX Code of Conduct:
-
I will listen, and listen, and then listen again before calling
-
I will only call if I can copy the DX station properly.
-
I will not trust the DX cluster and will be sure of the DX station's call sign before calling.
-
I will not interfere with the DX station nor anyone calling and will never tune up on the DX frequency or in the QSX slot.
-
I will wait for the DX station to end a contact before I call.
-
I will always send my full call sign.
-
I will call and then listen for a reasonable interval. I will not call continuously.
-
I will not transmit when the DX operator calls another call sign, not mine.
-
I will not transmit when the DX operator queries a call sign not like mine.
-
I will not transmit when the DX station requests geographic areas other than mine.
-
When the DX operator calls me, I will not repeat my call sign unless I think he has copied it incorrectly.
-
I will be thankful if and when I do make a contact.
-
I will respect my fellow hams and conduct myself so as to earn their respect.
