Biography

DL-SWL- Station - DARC - DOK O04 - license since April 1980 - hospital administration employee

I like to listen in digital modes, like to take part in contests. It is also very interesting to be on the road in WEBSDR and KiwiSDR. There is a lot to hear on long, medium and short wave.

My Amateur Radio Callsign : DL4DAE

Born in 1963 in Hattingen / NRW / Ruhr district. Already as a child, I sat at the tube radio at home and enthusiastically shot over the long, medium and short wave. Then I came to the amateur radio and shortwave listeners via the CB radio. I have been licensed since April 1980 with the call sign DL4DAE and with the SWL call sign DE4DAE. I like being active in SSTV, PSK, FT8, RTTY and digital radio, also WEBSDR is very interesting to hear. I am an administrative employee at the Katholisches Klinikum Bochum (University Hospital) in the area of ​​reception and switchboard for almost 30 years.The photo shows me with my tomcat Charly, who is listening to the strange sounds from the radio as an SWL tomcat.
