I was licensed in 1990. My first callsign was DH5IAD at first, after a half year DL3IAS.
My main intrests are:
- Weak signals modes on VHF/UHF/SHF
- Contesting on VHF/UHF/SHF
- Equipment homebrewing
- CW QRP opration on shortwave (only from time to time)
I am member of the local DARC radio club Schifferstadt (DOK K38)
and the 2 m contest group DR2X (Locator JO40QL).
