My home-QTH is Preussisch Oldendorf (JO42gg) in north-west Germany about 100 km west of Hannover.

Since 1977 I am radio amateur and member of the German Amateur-Radio Club (DARC) (OV N30).

My first QSL-card from 1977 showing me and my first trx (Heathkit SB-101).

After a long pause of nearly 30 years I came back on the air 2016. Today my rig is a YAESU FT-817 (QRP 5 watts) with homemade dipole or bazooka antenna. What I like best is doing CW on shortwave (I hope that I will improve again my morse-skills by the time).

I love paper-QSL! I will QSL normally via bureau; direct cards via mail will be answered immediately (no money, stamps or irc necessary); eQSL is also possible.

I hope to meet you on the bands - 73
