Popular European DXer 13DA121 Ralf is the Dx Adventure Radio Club’s latest member from the Federal Republic of German and the second in a row from 13 Division.
Also a member of the Germany based Eagle Lads DX Group (13EL121), Ralf hails from the city of Duisburg in the western part of the Ruhr Area (Ruhrgebiet) in North Rhine-Westphalia. With the world’s biggest inland harbour and its proximity to Düsseldorf International Airport, Ralf’s QTH has become an important venue for commerce and steel production and is no doubt the gateway for any anticipated DX activity Ralf seeks to embark on in the future.
Renowned for his shrewd advice and extensive knowledge of old style rigs and a familiar contributor to the world’s radio forums, 13DA121 Ralf meet the terms of DA-RC’s membership criteria in the Leadership Category (See http://www.delta-alfa.com/about/become-a-member/ ). With this in mind, he certain to be a precious asset for other members who might be looking to update the radio shack benchtop with a new-fangled but older style transceiver in the future!
On top of enjoying the absolute comfort of his home shack with the mic of his President Lincoln in hand, 13DA121 Ralf enjoys mobile DXing and is passionate about teaming up with other DA-RC mates to achieve DXpedition success in the future. To date, Ralf has carried out holiday DXing in 327 and 161 Divisions respectively and, at the time of gaining membership with the club, was holidaying in Poland!
When he’s not roving Europe with a radio snuggled away in his luggage, or active on the world’s hobby forums offering counsel to other radio Communicologists suffering the frustrations of radio technics, Ralf enjoys travelling to the waterways around Duisburg, including the Ruhr and Rhine Rivers, for a spot of fishing — a past time which appears to be very widespread with other members of the club such as 43DA001 Darren, 224DA111 Donnie and 43DA020 Geoff.
DA-RC’s newest member also gets pleasure from working on his home computer with one of his chief interests being maintaining a thorough library of DX audio files and parading them on his superb You Tube page… http://www.youtube.com/user/13EL121

Many thanks for the warm welcome! I will give my best to support the group in every point. Best 73s to all Delta Alfa members and all radio friends in the world! Ralf, 13DA121
