Some Lines about me
I`m 47 Years old & married. we have 2 Childrens
My Location in Switzerland is close to THUN.
I have startet with CB-Radio 1995. My first Tranceiver was a Lucky Star with 40 Channels FM only. The first DX was a Packet Radio QSO 1997 with a Station in East Germany.
This time i think => 600km WOW !!!! That was a great experience !!
Around 1 month later i do my first „real DX QSO“ with a Station in Berlin. But the QSO that made me finally to a DX Fan was 1998 in FM Mode on Channel 31 with 93RC103 Doris (Big thanks Doris).
In the middle of 1999, after a lot of SWL and reading in some books (who is who) i startet with DXing on SSB most of the Time on 26Mhz.
First TRX i use was a Superstar3900 and President Lincoln. Very hard to work some Activations who use Split. But around 2000 i got my best Station setup so far
This time i Joined a small but nice Group : Tango Whisky ( The Winners)
Soon after i Joined my First Meeting of a Dx Group in Oranienburg / Germany 2000
was nice to see several peoples you know only from Radio.
Short after Joined TW i also Joined the International Radio Dx Group ( India Radio )
This Time it was a Big Group with nice and Active peoples around the World. (Ok still nice peoples in it :) )
Joined also several IR Group Meetings in Delft / NL , Nuremberg / D , Eglisau / CH .
It was nice to meet peoples from diffrent DXCC : 125 26 47 14 etc etc etc

Worked some nice DXCC like 140, 202, 341, 224, 266, 265, 144, 17 etc
Now (2015) more than 10 Years later i have more as 250 DXCC worked & near to 245 DXCC confirmed and also some IOTA & /MM in my Collection.
Now i have stoped to hunt active new DXCC.
My Motto : When I am QRV and work a new DXCC it is great.
I know i have missed several good New Ones but i have also a real life and now time to sit 24/7 on a Cluster to made a Sked on the Cluster Chat.
My QTH now, is not the best in Switzerland, surround of Mountains with 2000m NN and more, hard to made a nice QSO outside EU.
It`s take a bit more time to be portable ;)
From 2015 to end of June 2019 i was President of the IR DX Group.
after me Presidential was Moved to 14IR001 Didier.
President now 13IR011 Jimmy
In 2024 there was a big trouble inside the Group, because 2 guys almost managed to destroy the group. they have now been thrown out and have founded their own Group.
Let see was the future brings
