I was born in 1963 as a Ham's Son .
In the age of 15 i attempt to make my Hamradio Licens. But i was too lazy to learn.
In my early 20's i became a soldier in CW7RTTY at the glory FmBtl940 in Daun/Eifel.
I met Dieter DK5PZ. He forced me to make my license in 1985.Thanks Dieter!
After 4 1/2 years at the glory EloKa in Daun i quit and went to the big road builder company in DL.
There i workt as a production technican and quallity safer for abt. 10 years.
