Welcome to 13DA010 Ralf
August 24, 2009 by Darren
The Dx Adventure Radio Club (DA-RC) is pleased to introduce its latest member from Central Europe…13DA010 Ralf.
Ralf’s German QTH is the municipality of Morbach in the Rhineland-Palatinate district Bernkastel-Wittlich, in the Hunsrück mountains, approximately 25 km south-east of Wittlich and 35 km east of Trier. The terrain here is rolling hills, superbly organized and maintained stretches of forest interspersed with manicured farmland.
A former member of the Sugar Delta and Florida Alfa Tango groups respectively, 13D
A010 Ralf is an admired and practised Freeband DXer and qualifies for DA-RC membership in the DX hunter category with almost 150 DXCC to his credit.
In addition to some leadership experience also with the Charlie Tango organisation, the club’s newest affiliate is also a skilled field operator, having undertaken field day operations on eleven metres in 2004 (Germany) and 2004 (Luxemburg) with SD, as well as an Islands On The Air (IOTA) activation of Pole Island (EU-098) in the past as well.
Away from the radio shack and the notable DX capabilities of his ICOM IC-7400 and 4 element yagi, 13DA010 Ralf enjoys combining his passion for travel with the Xtreme sport of powerkiting. This adrenaline charged past time involves using a power kite (a large kite) designed to provide significant pull to the user, in conjunction with a vehicle or board, for kite surfing, kite buggying, kite landboarding, kite skating, snow kiting and kite jumping.
It is this same passion for life and energy for adrenaline packed adventure which Ralf brings to his new club — one that sees him already making plans for DXpedition adventure with other members of the EU team for the future.
On behalf of everyone, welcome to the Club, Ralf. It’s fabulous having you as part of the DA-RC team!
