Hello,
welcome to the page of
German Amateur Radio Station
DH6YHO
Harald Ossenbrink - Warendorf - Germany
QTH: JO31XW
One of my major hobbies is amateur radio. I'm holder of class-1-licence
since 1998. Before I was active on VHF only as DG6YDO from 1985.
My favourite bands are 40m & 10m. 6m is also very interesting but
unfortunately restricted to special licences in Germany. When visiting
a country with more liberal regulations this is then my most favourite
band. I was very active on 6m from Northern Poland in the summers of 1999 - 2001 using the polish callsign SO0YHO.
Due to lack of time in the past few years my activities on the bands
today are very low. Therefore I spend more time for mobile radio,
sometimes even on shortwave. Travelling to my company takes time which
I fill with "radio acivity" mainly on local repeaters.
I'm working as a measuring technician and this job sometimes brings me
throughout the world. Depending on local conditions occasionally there
is a chance to activate the shortwave bands. My personal highlight was in March
2000 from the Kruger National Park in South Africa as ZS/DH6YHO.
Besides amateur radio I also like photography when visiting different
countries. Not professionally but just saving my impressions onto the
chip - my colleagues call me the Japanese ...
If you are more interested in my excursions please have a look on this page (some pages still in progress).
My town has about 36000 inhabitants including 3 neighbouring villages which also belong to Warendorf. I live in one of them together with 7000 other people - somewhere else it would be a town!
Cycling is very popular in this area since the landscape is mainly flat and there are many well-made farmer's roads apart from normal roads. If only I have some time I ride my bike for an hour or more!
I hope you will enjoy visiting my homepage. If you have any questions or suggestions do not hesitate to write in my guest book (still part of my old website).
