My name is Frank and I´m located in Hagen JO31QI about 20km from Dortmund and 70km from Cologne.

Hagen lies on the outskirts of the Ruhr District Area, a cluster of cities in the north western part of Germany.

I was born in Melbourne Australia in 1964 and lived there until 1972.

In 1972 I moved to Newman a town in Western Australia.

I live in Germany since 1976.

I am 49 years old and licensed since 1981.

I like dxing on the 80-10m bands.

Digital modes ( SSTV, Olivia, PSK, etc. ).

But also nice ragchew qso`s as well.

I use a Yaesu FT2000

6-160m = 6.7m vertical antenna on the roof with no traps and a few radials, which works surprisingly well !

2m/70cm = Big Wheel

MFJ Versatuner V 3kw antennatuner (Stalin matching)

I also use a Uniden/Tempo 2020 plus ext. vfo, speaker as a backup and with the FTV-901R transverter for 2m SSB/CW.

Pileup breaker is a modified Heathkit SB1000 amplifier.
