05.05.2006 after a longe time of inactivity caused by private issues and high workload in the office i'm now restructuring the homepage.
The main side will be www.dk7xe.de as backup www.qsl.net/dk7xe will remain.
15.06.2004 Again i had a lot to do in the past 12 months. I changed a lot in the house. In the meantime 6x15m H2000 coax is mounted between the shack and the roof. Not all antennas are installed yet but i'm already QRV on APRS and 2m/70cm with the IC706. In the meantime i bougt a peekpack & a pockettracker from byonics. Also a very small and lowcost GPS receiver is mine now. Check out the APRS section for details.
I will be in OE6 end of July 2004. If you are also there give me a call via
R 87 - Hochwechsel or APRS. I'll have the TH-D7 and IC706 with me.

Sorry guys i had a lot to do during the last months so i was not able to answer some e-mails. (This is also caused by heavy spam traffic on my company e-mail account.) I also had no access to my private e-mail during the last three weeks because we moved to our new home on 28th of June. My phone company will switch on the line tomorrow.
This is also the reason for why my JavAPRS onlineAPRS map for Austria and Hamburg is not available at the moment! Sorry for that!
I'm still busy with working in the new house. I expect to be QRV with my full equipment end of August. Antennas are still not mounted and coax-cables have to be installed.

17.03.2003

I'm again on a business trip in Nijmegen, PA.I will stay here during the next three weeks.
This time i only have the TH-D7G2 with me so i will be QRV on 2m APRS 144.800.

16.03.2003

There happened a lot during the last days. The result was that we bought a house in Norderstedt near Hamburg a week ago. :-)
For me this means that i will not have the problem to install antennas anymore.
We will move to our new home on 1st of July. So i will not be QRV during the last weeks in June.
But afterwards you can find me more often on the shortwave bands.

14.02.2003

I updated the APRS section and added links to some online APRS sites.

30.01.2003

I worked in the UBA contest on 20m on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. After that i stopped working on shortwave. During the next week i will be only QRV on APRS in Nijmegen.

23.01.2003

I have some problems with the microphone of the 706. It seems that the cable is broken somewhere between the plug and the microphone. I'll try to fix this but maybe this causes me to stop working on shortwave here in PA.

19.01.2003

It's a long time ago that i updated this page. Sorry but my hamradio activities except APRS were also nearly zero. At the moment i'm on a business trip in Nijmegen, PA. I also have the IC706 with me and i'm QRV every day between 17:00 and 20:00 UTC until 8th of February.
You can check out my actual QRG when you search on findu.com or APRS for DK7XE-5.
In my APRS status text you can see the info.
Some pictures about my equipment can be seen here.
If you like to contact me send an email to dk7xe_qrl@peklar.net.

17.03.2002

The TinyTrack page was updated with some photos. (TinyTrack mounted in FT50 battery case, TT mounted in small metal housing)

04.02.2002

I updated the link-page.

22.01.2002

Yes i'm still alive! :-) But there is nothing new. 
There's a good homepage about our local 10m/70cm relay and APRS digi.
Check out http://www.df0hhh.de for detailed information.

08.10.2001

I was on the beach in St.Peter-Ording with my wife and daughter and saw some kites. There i got the idea to use a kite for a shortwave vertikal wire antenna!
I ordered a 3m kite today! :-) 
My plan is to use a ~25m long 1,5mm steel rope as antenna.

01.10.2001

I sent the DigiFun back to QRPproject because it was unable for me to find the error on the IF board. I hope Peter DL2FI will have more success than me.

27.09.2001

Modification information for DeLorme TripMate GPS added.

17.09.2001

Infopage about the DigiFun PSK31trx added.

28.08.2001

I finished the "digifun" PSK31 trx. Calibration will need some time because i had problems with the IF board oscillator at the first test.

24.08.2001

I got a 0,1mm copper wire from DG7XO this morning. Thanx Oliver! I hope i'll be ready with the "digifun" this weekend!

23.09.2001

I added a "about me" page. Pictures will be added soon! 

23.09.2001

I put the PSK31trx in a housing yesterday! It looks good. I'll add some pictures soon! I'm still not able to built up the coils for the IF board because i have no 0,1mm copper wire and the original one was damaged. Also my local electronic supplier was sold out! So if you have a copper wire please send it to me! I need only a piece with 2m of length! :-)

12.08.2001

I build up the PSK31trx without the coils. I think the coil-kit's need some time to be ready because our little daughter sleeps only during the day if i take her on my shoulders :-).

09.08.2001

I received a Siemens C5. I hope i'll find some time to do the rework to use it for 70cm 9k6 PR. (same problem than with the DIGIFUN PSK32trx HI HI).

23.07.2001

I updated the pictures in the "Tinytrack PCB by DK7XE" section. Because the previous ones had low resolution. 
Download of Eagle schematic and board files for TinyTrack v1.1 also added.

21.07.2001

I received my DIGIFUN PSK31 trx kit from QRPproject. I hope i'll find some time to built it up! :-)

05.07.2001

Our daughter Julie Marie was born at 23:30! That's the reason why i'll be not QRV so often. :-)
