First steps to the radio hobby happened in 1984, when I first played around with CB-radios. During the following three years I was very active using the "call-sign" Werwolf. At that time I was infected by the DX-virus and began to work mainly to U.K. via sporadic E using legal 4 Watts output into a 5/8-wave vertical.The limited possiblities motivated me to make my licence in April 1987 at the age of 15.  

By the influence of nearby friends like DF5UL and  DL1GGT I developed my interest especially in Contesting and DXing. (still missing 4 DXCC)

As my previous Call DL2MEH was quite difficult to understand for some OPs (especially on CW) I finally changed it to DJ5MW after a long inner fight.

Quite frequently you can work me in the contests using our fine club calls DRØW, DFØWA and sometimes DLØLI.

 

A very incomplete collection of my contest activities can be discovered in Scores. As this is ment to be an archive of all my contests, there are serious entries and such with only a few contacts mixed together. My memory is very bad in such things and I just want to remember, what I did in the past :-)
