Hello and Welcome!

Hello and welcome! I'm Dzianis, a licensed radio ham holding the callsign DD1LD. I love to take this hobby with me wherever I may roam. The blog "QTC de DD1LD" means "Messages From Me" and reflects my ham radio activities and projects. I barely have time to write everything down, so I blog occasionally, and mainly, for myself.

DA20XOTA - 20 Jahre Outdoor-Funk in den Deutschen Alpen

The callsign DA20XOTA means Deutsche Alpen 20 (Jahre/Years) X-any On The Air and is related exclusively to outdoor portable amateur radio activities of all kinds in the German Alps from January 1st to December 31st, 2024. More details about you can find HERE


On January, the 2nd I brought DA20XOTA on the air and activated DLFF-0445 by 290 QSOs made in 3 hours of portable operation. On January, the 3rd I activated DLFF-0431 by 250 QSOs. So, 540 QSOs in two afternoons with 3x P2P was fun and a good start! 

It makes fun to operate under DA20XOTA. My activities so far:
