My Grandfather was a great and enthusiastic HAM. During my childhood i visited him and could look at his hobby, but these strange things, I couldn't find anything on it. ...
A fellow student , called Wolfram DG6FEE ,asked me if I know something about HAM radio and to learn for the examination. So I knew a lot of the operation, I had to learn for the technical and the law part. I got the licence in the vacation between two semesters in 1993. My callsign was DG4FEC. To transmit on short wave we need a great licence. So I learned for CW and got the licence 8 years later...
Now my child are in the shack too !!!
