Biography

Hello world
My first year with Amateur Radio has passed and I am still excited about this hobby. Since I started last year I made contacts with over 200 dxcc countries, mostly with a simple 10m/30ft endfed vertical antenna and the Yaesu ftdx10.
Thanks to the help of my local ham radio club in Düsseldorf (DOK R01), I learned a lot and got up to speed quickly. Knowledge sharing at its best!
Since I moved to the city of Essen, the local club in Essen Bredeney is very supportive. I can use their station equipment (Flex6700, Expert PA, multi-band beam, etc) remotely. Quite impressive, how good it works.
Next to amateur radio, I am out there mountain biking, sailing my new "O-Jolle" and learning to play guitar.
QSL information: LOTW, e-QSL Bureau and Direct are valid modes. Genuine reports from short wave listeners (SWLs) are welcome and are to be encouraged.
All my logs are periodically uploaded to LOTW, e-QSL, Clublog, HamQTH, and HRDLog.
73,
Michael
