German Amateur Radio: Blogs, Podcasts & Clubs
Find a curated list of ham radio blogs, podcasts, club pages, and specialized resources from Germany, covering various aspects of the hobby.
Amateur radio activity in Germany covers a wide range of interests, from daily QSOs on HF and VHF bands to specialized operations like satellite communication and Parks On The Air (POTA). Many German operators share their experiences, antenna projects, and homebrew equipment online, contributing to a vibrant ham radio community. Local clubs, often affiliated with the DARC, support these activities by organizing nets, contests, and training for new licensees.
Operators can find numerous personal blogs detailing specific ham radio pursuits, such as the POTA activations by DK4MJ or the satellite projects of DL6DBN. There are also resources for digital modes, including detailed VFO codeplugs for Hytera DMR radios from DM7DS, supporting Brandmeister and DMR Plus. Additionally, hams interested in radio direction finding can follow blogs like DL2EBX's Geofoxing, while local club sites, such as DARC DOK L16 Duisburg, provide information on regional activities and repeater access.
