My name is Fritz-born in Hamm (1961) near Dortmund ! I obtained my radio amateur license 1989 in Nuernberg/Bavaria. License for short wave means in the past, that you have to pass an exam in CW. Needed 7 month to get it. I had an initial fascination in short wave started in the mid 1970s, when I decided to buy a Sommerkamp FT 277. In fact, this was a very hot time on different illegal bands. But after I moved to Erlangen for my new work as a supervisor in a electronic company, I came across with some Amateur Radio people from Siemens and it was high time to learn abt. Amateur Radio. - Right now I live in Barbullush in the North of the wonderful Albania. Living between mountains , lakes and the sea. From here, it is very easy as a motorcyclist (T-Max) to reach a lot of neighborhood countries. I like riding on a motorbike very much and do a lot of trips every summer. Pictures will follow! Will invite you to our wonderful country. Join Albania - My hobbies: Amateur Radio, Photographic, Guns, Oldtimer cars and Motorbike
