Welcome to my site! I am interested in amateurradio since the early 70s and became a licenced radio amateur in 1975. At my QTH in Mainz I am active on the VHF, UHF and SHF bands. Because amateurradio is an international hobby and many visitors are not speaking German, I decided to use English only for this site.

Willkommen auf meiner Seite! Ich interessiere mich seit den frühen 70ern für den Amateurfunk und wurde 1975 lizensierter Funkamateur. Von meinem QTH in Mainz aus bin ich auf den VHF-, UHF- und SHF- Bändern aktiv. Da der Amateurfunk ein internationales Hobby ist und viele Besucher nicht deutsch sprechen, habe ich mich entschlossen, für diese Seite ausschließlich englisch zu verwenden.

Active on 2 m, 70 cm, 23 cm, 13 cm, 3 cm and 1.2 cm.

My favorite bands are 23 and 13 cm

Equipment:

1.2 cm: 80 cm dish, 1 W

3 cm:  80 cm dish, 8 W / alternative: 50 cm dish, 2 W

13 cm:  3 m dish (ring feed), 75 W, 0.5 dB NF

23 cm:  3 m dish (ring feed), 200 W, 0.35 dB NF

70 cm:  15 element yagi (YU7EF), 200 W, 0.8 dB NF

Skeds welcome via chat (ON4KST and HB9Q) or email dj5ar (at) darc.de

QSL policy: I do not really collect QSLs, but will respond to every received QSL in the manner, I got it. No stamps or IRCs required. Logs will be uploaded to LOTW and eQSL. I tried German DCL (Direct Current Log, hi) and British Club Log too, but support for the microwave bands is between marginal and very poor. So don´t expect my logs to be uploaded there.
