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. In August 2006 we went to a new QTH, still in JN49nx right on the border to JO40na,
out of the town on the countryside. Now I'm at 400 meters a.s.l.
with a clear view and a superb take-off all around.
