about me

Hello...

Thank you very much for checking my website !!

My name is Mirko Baumgartner and I live in Oberhausen, Germany.

Born 1968 in Oberhausen and grown up as a child of two I am still living and working for a Facility Management Company in my hometown.

My main hobbies are Amateur Radio and Sports.

I have been a Radio Amateur for 14 years now and prefer to work rare stations on shortwave, especially on the lowbands.

I still need one more country ( P5, North Korea ) from the current DXCC list (334) to get them all.

Since a couple of years I try to work as many countries on each shortwave band from 10-160m as possible.

I have reached around 2665 bandpoints so far and its getting more and more difficult now.

I am active on all shortwave bands and beside I am working on 2m and 70cm, mainly in Packet Radio.Together with some local friends we are running a 9k6 digipeater , a mailbox and the packet cluster DB0RDX-9

In the past few years I have been traveling around with some good friends for contesting and holiday. You can watch some of the QSL`s by clicking here.
