My name is Dietmar (Didi) and I live in the most southern province of Germany called Baden-Württemberg.
I am licensed since 1982 as DL2SBA (former license class B). In my family also my beloved wife Monika DL6SCF and my father DK1UO are licensed hams but not yet active on the bands.
Usually I operate in CW on the HF bands from 80m to 10m using an ELECRAFT K3 into a dipole antenna with an hamware AT-502 antenna tuner.
On vacation and on business trips I use my homebuild ELECRAFT K1 or my ICOM IC-705 with small vertical antennas or dipoles for fine qrp contacts.
Due to the power and antenna limitations real DX qsos are rare for me. So I'm very pleased for every non european station calling me :-)

Hope to meet you on the bands
Dietmar, DL2SBA
