QSL information:

I try to keep the following QSL-policy in mind, hi:

QSL-Cards are sent out via bureau if possible for each first-contact-situation (first-contact for band or mode). Aditional QSL-cards would be send out on request only. If not possible via bureau I maybe send out direct if card is of interest for me. EQSLs are going out serveral times a month for each contact.

Incomming cards are answered by the way they reach me.

If you send my your card by direct it would be nice to put a SAE with your card. It would also be nice to find one dollar with your card - but only if possible.

Personal information:

Member of Ham-Family DO7VN and DH1VY.

Short Info about the pictures: The picture left shows my last QSL-card and the nice one with the black/white-T-shirt is me, in background it's Dieter, DF2VW - sometimes I got asked, who are the OMs.

On the right you see my first QSL-card.

My profile-picture is the actual QSL-card designed in Oct. 2010 and send out since then. It is a combined card for using by my wife (DO7VN) and myself.

Here is a little view of my desktop-shack.

Main activities:

Most of the time you could find me on shortwave - mainly in the digital operations segment - doing some psk31 and so on. Most of my activities are in digital modes. But I'm also using SSB-Modes and CW on shortwave.

My UKW/UHF-activities concentrate on using local FM-repeaters. Sometimes you can find me in the SSB-segments (if it's contest-time :-)

Actually I am very active in digital voice modes like DMR, C4FM and DSTAR. I am the programmer of two popular dashboards for MMDVMHost-Systems (MMDVM-repeater and DVMEGA-hotspots) and for the YSFReflectors, both software-parts programmed by Jonathan, G4KLX.
