Some Impressions of my station can be found on the photo gallery page
May 2002 - Although from calculation it was found that my echo's from the moon should be readable, it took until today that it really happens: My echo's
May 2004 - First experiments with JT65 mode. I believe this is a more confient way to check conditions for stations with poor echo capability like me.
Mar 2011 - First QSO's made since 2004!!. I used JT65B with only 20Watt on the antenna's and worked UA3PTW and I1NDP.
Dec 2012 - MAP65 now operational using FUNCUBE.
May 2013 - Finally worked Africa Continent for WAC: Thanks to ZS6OB
Jan 2015 - Start to operate R&S VH501 Solid State Amplifier to replace GS35b.
Apr 2016 - Changed Antenna configuration to 4 x Horizontal coupled with 4 x Vertical Polarisation.
Sep 2018 - Restored original configuration 8 x Horizontal coupled.
