Starting
in January 2010 I changed my job. The company I worked
for is based in Freiburg/Germany. Therefore I acquired
a house in the Breisgau area close to Freiburg. The
house provides good opportunities to build up a Ham
Radio station with antennas on the roof of the house.
My QTH is blocked in some directions by mountains of
the black forest and also Kaiserstuhl. If you click
on the picture below you will get a simulated view of
my horizon. Please note that the picture is quite large
as the width is approx. 28000 pixels. |

Occasionally
I used to setup an Echolink simplex gateway using the
callsign DD1US-L and the node number 518482. It was based on the TM-D710E and
a DELL netbook connected to the Internet by WLAN. The
TM-D710E supported nicely simultaneous operation of
the APRS station and the Echolink gateway. |
My
Ham Radio station is never finished as there are many
frequencies and modes to explore. Below you can see
some pictures of my recent antenna setups. I am operating
on the HF bands but mostly on VHF/UHF/SHF. Satellite
communication is my main focus. |

|
Here are some pictures of my antenna ensemble
covered by hoar frost
|
The magnetic loop antenna for HF and the
23cm and 13cm yagi antennas for ATV are
covered by hoar frost
|
The stacked radio direction finder antenna
arrays for VHF/UHF/SHF are covered by hoar
frost
|
Also the 2.3m dish and the 2m and 70cm X-Quads
are covered by hoar frost
|
In 2019 I refurbished
an old Kathrein satellite dish with a diameter
of 1.8m and an f/D=0.29. I use it with a
POTY feed for up- and downlink on QO-100.
|
This is my shack at
my QTH in the Freiburg area.

In
this section you can find some information about repeaters/digipeaters/Echolink-gateways
and beacons in the area of Freiburg. You can see also
see how far away they are from my QTH in the Freiburg
area. The colour code in the table shows which repeaters
I can reach well (green), which I cannot reach at all (red)
and which are weak but sometimes operable (yellow).
If the call sign of the other station is underlines,
you can click on it and you will get a calculated terrain
profile between my location and the other station. You
can thus see, whether a line of sight link is available
and/or whether there are obstacles in the frequency
dependent first fresnel zone. |
