Hi! I’m Heiko, callsign DH3IKO, a radio amateur from Ashausen near the river Elbe and a member of the DARC chapter E13 Hamburg-Alstertal.

What I love about amateur radio

  • CW / Morse telegraphy — my favourite mode. If you want to learn or brush it up: MorseRunner is great dry training for contests.
  • Field day operations — I organise our club’s CW field day. Portable operation, raising antennas and operating together in the open air are the best part of the hobby for me.
  • Tinkering and restoring — bringing old rigs back to life, most recently a Kenwood TS-690S (full recap included).
  • Software — being a software developer by trade I like to combine hobby and profession, for example with Papagei, a natural CW keyer (see the video on the home page).
