Amateur Radio /p

 

My QTH locator is JN37WX (47°59'55"N, 7°50'15"E)

 

Starting in January 2010 I changed jobs.

My new company is headquartered in Zurich/Switzerland. The operational headquarter is in Freiburg/Germany.

Thus I have now an additional home downtown Freiburg and commute frequently to Zurich. You can see in the center of the picture to the left the grey flat roof of the loft house which I have been renting.








ICOM IC-T81

In Freiburg I am sometimes active in FM on VHF/UHF/SHF using a portable station with indoor antennas. I am either using my IC-T81 quad-band (6m, 2m 70cm, 23cm) hand-held transceiver or my Kenwood TM-D710E dual-band (2m, 70cm) mobile transceiver.

When I am at home usually the Kenwood TM-D710E transceiver is active and transmitting an APRS beacon on 144.800 MHz using the callsign DD1US-1. It is connected to an AVMAP Geosat5 GPS receiver which provides the precise location for the APRS beacon and also displays the APRS stations which have been received. Thus no PC is needed for this APRS station.
In addition I have setup an Echolink simplex gateway using the callsign DD1US-L and the node number
518482. It is based on the TM-D710E and a DELL netbook connected to the Internet by WLAN.
The TM-D710E supports simultaneous operation of the APRS station and the Echolink gateway.

In this section you can find some information about repeaters/digipeaters/Echolink-gateways and beacons in the area of Freiburg. You can see also the distance to my QTH in Freiburg. Usually you can guess that the closer a repeater is, the more likely I will be able to access it .... my APRS beacon usually also transmits the frequency I am monitoring !

Freiburg also has a local amateur radio club which is part of DARC (Deutscher Amateur Radio Club). OV-Freiburg "A05" has about 140 members and owns a nice club home with a decent radio station DK0FR. The club home is located next to Freiburg airport (exactly at the north eastern corner of the airport in JN38WA). The homepage of the local club "A05" can be found when clicking on the picture to the right.
The club meets every month on the 4
