Biography

Welcome to my Page

Since 1993 I am licensed amateur. A long time ago I was not working on the amateur bands. In 1993 I got my first callsign DG3ABT, the former class "C" in Germany with privileges only on VHF and UHF Bands. Later than I pass the "slow" CW-Exam and get my former class "A" License with DH4AAM, wich ends up with the "faster" CW-Exam and the former class "B" License with full privileges on the bands. My former Callsign was DL6ABR. Since 2004 i was inactive and i sell all my amateur equipment.

Since July 2023 I have changed my callsign to DJ1JR as I reactivate my radio license.

In September 2023 I have passed the exam for the american technician class license. In October 2023 I have passed the exam for the General Class License. In January 2024 I have earned my Extra Class license. My US callsign is K1JHR, my previous callsign was KD9YZK.

I am not member of DARC, so I can receive and send QSL only electronical or - if you want a paper QSL,
send me your QSL and a SAE, I need no money to send my QSL back to you.

*** You can not send me QSL via bureau *** I have no DOK ***

I prefer QSL via QRZ or LoTW. I am sending only paper QSL on request!


After a digital mode QSO I upload the confirmation to QRZ, Clublog and eQSL.cc directly.
Upload to LoTW mostly once a working day.
In CW or SSB I upload direct to QRZ. The upload to Clublog eQSL.cc and LoTW mostly once a working day.
A confirmation of a QSO is the “crown” to every QSO.
I'm also happy about any confirmation. In principle, I do not pay for an electronic confirmation.

I generally upload my confirmations free of charge and expect the same from the QSO partner.
I am happy to donate voluntarily at DXPeditions and special stations.
