Hello and thanks for looking me up.

I got licenced in 1993, call DG9BIP, and started being qrv on Sat's (AO10, AO13, etc.), later also in ATV from my former qth in JO33VM.

Equipment in 1998, left picture, bottom to top - right picture shows mobile ATV operation (click on picture enlarges in new window)

Sat

  • Az/El Rotor Yaesu G-5600 controlled via Interface IF100 by InstantTrack running on a 386 computer, SSB PreAmp's 2m/70cm, Maspro 2m/70cm Oscar Hunter

ATV

  • 23cm home made dish with feeder, behind 23cm home made 20W PA in grey housing, 13cm home made feeder

 

In 2002 I went qrt because of job-related reasons and came back qrv in 2010 after moving to my actual qth, now on HF/ VHF/ UHF. On 2012-08-15 I changed my callsign to DH9DX.

 

actual main rig:

HF

  • Icom IC-731, ATU MFJ 926B, homemade ladder line fed all-band wired dipole, 2 x 13m/ 5 m ladder line connected to a 4:1 balun

VHF

  • Kenwood TR 751E, PA Tokyo Hy-Power HL-160V, PreAmp SSB SP-2, 3 el Yagi on a Yaesu G-5600B

UHF

  • Kenwood TR 851E, PA SSB TLA 432/50, PreAmp SSB SP-70, 5 el Yagi on a Yaesu G-5600B

(all antennas are located in the attic)

portable rig:

HF#1

  • Kenwood TS 120S, Tuner MFJ 949E, ladder line current meter/ battery monitor (home made) - built into a 19"/ 6RU case

HF#2

  • Yaesu FT 757GXII, Autotuner MFJ 929 - built into an aluminum carrying case

common power source: 2 x Accumulator 12V/24 Ah in parallel - built into an aluminum tool case

VHF

  • Yaesu FT 290R

mobile rig:

VHF/UHF

  • Icom IC-3200E, Diamond duoband antenna

handheld:

VHF/UHF

  • Standard C-500

VHF

  • Icom IC-2E

 

Due to the high level of man made noise at my qth (S6-8), at the beginning of 2011 I decided to get qrv outside the cities.

I built up the portable rig, packed it into my car and drove out for testing.

After assembling and raising the antenna I powered on the rig andit beat my expectations - noise level only S1-2! That's it!

So, if you hear me /p on the bands, I'm somewhere in the countryside, enjoying ham radio, the nature and from time to time the sun.

left to right: (click on picture enlarges in new window)

  • portable homemade wired triple leg for 15m (and similar for 20 and 10m), 7m agl
  • portable homemade wired 5/8 wave base loaded vertical (variometer loading coil in the grey housing at the bottom) with 8 radials, radiator for 20 and 15m with homemade coax trap
