Myself  working with the TS 590 in the shack

My amateur radio equipment for HF-, VHF-, UHF- Transmissions

                                    My antenna farm for all amateur bands

I am a member of the DARC Radio Club in Cham, a small town in the area of the so called "Bavarian Woods". My DOK is U03. There is a nice designed Diploma "DLD", which You can get, if You collect the DOK's.
I am living near Cham in a small village, enclosed from woods and nice countryside. With me are Silvia, my wife, 3 alpaccas, 3 cats and our dog Bonny.
In 1960 I became Radio Amateur with the callsign DJ7LM. Since then I am active on all shortwave amateur bands and in addition also on 2 meters and 70 centimeters. The first years I enjoyed CW, then AM and finally SSB. I am very fond in exchanging information about landscapes, habbits, traditions and other hobbies. I am an oldfashioned radio ham, I still collect paper qsl-cards, though I have many of them, but am happy about every new one. Due to my profession, I lived some time in the 1980s out of Germany, so in France and Australia. There I was active with the callsign F0WQ, F6GLM and VK6AVE. To operate from other countries was very interesting and to work with an pile up was exiting, I enjoyed it every time.
In the meantime I am retired and now I have more time to hear and talk around the world on amateur bands. Ham spirit and nice persons exist everywhere in the world and so I met quite a few of them in these years.
