I'm a VHF-enthusiast since
1964. At the age of 6 I was seriously searching for the miracles of
broadcast inside my parents brand new HiFi system using a screwdriver and
the big solder gun I found at my fathers shack desk. Nice surprise for
whole family: neither small green guys from Mars inside the radio nor
sound out of the speaker anymore...
In 1980 I got my first license, DG4NAE, a new solder and few screwdrivers
also...of course. In 1983 I became DH8NAA. Since 15. May 1998 I am DK5YA.
Today radio is my business, I'm a
Broadcast-Journalist at
Hessischer Rundfunk in Frankfurt/M., one
of the leading BC and TV-stations in Europe.
Hope to meet you on 50, 144 or up. I'm quite active on
METEORSCATTER, ES,
AURORA , EME and further
kinds of propagation. Until the end of November 2002 I worked 586 grids in
72 DXCC countries on 144. Many more left to work.
Recent rig consists of a YAESU-FT1000MP with
transverters for 144 and 432, FT847 for HF, 50, 144 and 432, a FT817 for
/p plus several VHF/UHF radios.
Antennas are 4 el. Yagi on 50MHz, 4 times 9 el. M2s 2.5WL for 144MHz and
21 el. 7.2 WL for 432MHz.
Tube-amplifiers help to produce a nice signal, ask my neighbors. Skeds for
MS are very welcome. Speed is up to 3000lpm both RX/TX using the famous
DTR made by DF7KF or FSK441.
