First callsign, DM4UIH, in 1966, when I was 15 years old, learned the code in age of twelve. My main interest in ham radio is CW on HF bands. I like ragchewing, dxing and sometimes contesting too. In contests, I usually don´t go for scores, but I like operating. Real QSOs have more personal touch. By the way I´m an old-fashioned CW-Op. Use the PC for logging only. My preferred keys are semiautomatics by Vibroplex a well trained fist with such a key sounds like music.I´m a so called little pistol. Never used an amplifier at any time. Run "barefoot" into a 26m end-fed wire antenna@15m, similar W3EDP. With my small set up I have worked some DX and awards over the years.I have climbed up my personal "Summits" the DXCC Challenge 1500 and 5Band DXCC as well sticker 160m, 30m, 17m and 12m.

Since 2014, I´m retired after 46 years in business. All I got to do now is enjoying life with my beloved wife Eva, eating, sleeping and ham radio
