  • Main Activity
    • Shortwave – DigiModes
    • POTA / SOTA Activating/Chasing on all bands
  • I enjoy amateur radio because the combination of technology and nature excites me – especially operating from mountain summits (SOTA) and nature parks (POTA) combines my passion for tinkering with radio technology and outdoor activities.
