Medal № 041
I'm first licensed 1975 with the callsign DC4HL (for VHF and higher frequencies), upgraded to class A (for all frequencies) since 1977 with the callsign DF1XC. I keep this callsign until now. My favorite mode is CW and I like mostly DX contacts. During many travels around the world I tasted the other side of a pile-up with different calls (for example 8P9XC).
My QTH near Berlin is in a Flora-Fauna region called “Spreewald” (German for "Spree Forest"). It was designated a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 1991 (DLFF-030). I activated this region with the special callsign DM700BURG, which reminds of 700 years after the foundation of the village Burg, the main settlement in the Spreewald region where I live.
I’m member of AGCW (#925), SKCC (#5938), DIG (#3272) and vice chairman of QCWA Germany (Chapter 106), member #35901.
In „real life“ I’m head of the Department of Neurosurgery at the Carl-Thiem-Clinical-Center in Cottbus, the largest hospital in the State of Brandenburg. In the near future it will be University Hospital.
Prof. Dr. med. Carl Thiem was the founder of the hospital and introduced the trauma and reconstructive surgery in Germany. He wrote and published 1898 the trendsetting handbook "Compendium of Trauma Diseases depend on own Medical Experience". In 1914 he established a modern hospital in Cottbus for the fast growing population in the age of industrialisation. In honor of his name I carried out the special callsign DM100CTK (100 years Carl-Thiem-Klinikum) in the world. At the open house presentation I installed an amateur radio station in the entrance hall and was QRV directly from there. Within one year DM100CTK got the DXCC and the WAE Award.
