I became licensed in 1980 first as a German-C class for VHF/UHF only
(DG7ZJ) and a German B-License (ADVANCED) ON 12 Aug. 1981 [DL5ZAH].
I love CW
Operations and used to be very active during
my time in the Philippines
from 1993 to 2000.
If you hear me calling CQ to fast for you, just call I will always QRS .
Today, I hold the advanced call VK3IU, the call
was issued to me on September 26, 2008 after the two letter call sign
raffle conducted by the WIA.
My previous Australian call where

as it is designated for repeater LOL.

UPDATE for QSL from Russia or Bella Russ only:
Please send your QSL Card direct or via BURO via DJ6OI
ОБНОВЛЕНИЕ для QSL из России:
пожалуйста, пришлите свои QSL-карточки Direct и BURO через DJ6OI
(GOOGLE translate)
All other countries continue to send your card directly to
VK3IU / VJ3U by BURO or direct, see below for further details.
I will happily answer all direct QSO's with paper QSL Cards via BURO.
I will not issue QSL Cards for DMR, ECHO Link contacts. For some repeater QSO I am ok to send a return QSL.
SWLs please request a confirmation via email and I am will mail you a confirmation QSL Card for free.
If I can confirm your QSL policy in QRZ.COM that you handle QSL via the buro, I will issue automatically a paper
QSL via buro for the first contact per band and mode. I will not sent a
QSL, if it is not clear that you do buro cards. All incoming QSL will
be answered.
If you overly keen for a direct VK3IU or VJ3U QSL Card,
please request this through OQRS (ClubLog) and I will send one or
multiple cards off in one envelope. Please e-mail me if you like a QSL
for each QSO or just one with multiple QSOs confirmed.
eQSL are available for you to download for free. I upload my logs either automatically or regularly to
CLUBLOG, eQSLss, QRZ.COM or LOGBOOK OF THE WORLD
to all the HAMs who claim they upload QSO to the Log Book
of the world, please, can you actually upload your log regularly, so
many HAMs claim to do LoTW, but they havent uploaded QSO for months.
I am a member of the VK Contest Club a very loosely connection of lightminded HAMs who love any form of contesting.
