The Deutscher Amateur-Radio-Club (DARC) e.V. serves as the largest association for radio amateurs in Germany and Europe, structured into 24 districts and approximately 960 local chapters nationwide. Its core mission involves fostering amateur radio and establishing favorable conditions for the Amateur Radio Service. The DARC actively participates in international affairs as a member of the **International Amateur Radio Union (IARU)**, ensuring German interests are represented on a global scale. Recent activities include the announcement of the FUNK.TAG in Kassel for April 25, 2026, and the HAMCamp at **HAM RADIO** in Friedrichshafen from June 26-28, 2026, offering discounted participation for young operators up to 27 years old. The club also supports special events, such as a short-term award and special callsign DB15ØWG to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Weimar–Gera railway line, active from April 1 to June 30. Regular updates, like the Deutschland-Rundspruch 11/2026, cover topics from the status of 70 MHz band permissions to satellite deployments like Ten-Koh 2, and contest results such as the WWA YL event. Propagation forecasts, including Kp indices and solar flux values, are provided by Hartmut Büttig, DL1VDL, offering insights into HF conditions and Gray-Line DX opportunities. The DARC also reports on district elections and space-related events like the Bochumer Weltraumtag, highlighting the diverse engagement of its members. -
Operating a ZS6BKW antenna often involves understanding its lineage from the _G5RV_ design, with specific modifications by ZS6BKW to optimize performance on several bands. Through computational analysis and field measurements, the antenna's dimensions were refined to allow operation on 10, 12, 17, 20, and 40 meters without an antenna tuner. For 80, 30, and 15 meters, a tuner is necessary, though efficiency on 30 and 15 meters is noted as not particularly high. The physical configuration consists of two 13.755-meter radiating elements fed by a 12.20-meter section of 450-ohm ladder line. Tuning the antenna on the 20-meter band is critical, and any deviation in the ladder line's characteristic impedance necessitates recalculating the element lengths. The design is also referenced in the 12th edition of _Rothammel's Antennenbuch_, page 219. Proper common mode current suppression is crucial at the transition from ladder line to coaxial cable. This can be achieved with a common mode choke, such as several turns of coax wound into a coil or over a ferrite toroid like an Amidon T130. While a 1:1 balun is an option, it may introduce issues. -

Accessing this interface provides entry to one of the largest databases for amateur radio voice repeaters, encompassing over 8000 entries from more than 60 countries. The resource supports both desktop and mobile access, with a default display based on browser type, or forced via a "force" parameter (e.g., relais.dl3el.de?force=mobile). Users input a QTH-locator to find local repeater information. The database integrates FM-Funknetz servers and hotspots, potentially creating duplicate entries but ensuring new FM-Funknetz repeaters are immediately displayed. DMR repeater information, including status and talkgroup configurations, is sourced directly from DMR+ / ircDDB and Brandmeister systems, with real-time updates for active and default talkgroups. C4FM/Wires-X installations, particularly MMDVM-based gateways not listed in Yaesu's database, are identified through Brandmeister dashboard descriptions, marked with "W-x" or "W-x#MMDVM" for manual entries. D-Star repeater data from ircddb or QuadNet2 is also incorporated, with entries marked (i), (o), or (d) for manual additions. An APRS interface allows searching by callsign, using Sassan, DL3NCK's database, and offers a mobile-friendly, auto-refreshing display that follows an APRS station. Output data can be generated in GPX format for offline smartphone maps or CSV for spreadsheet applications. The database also attempts to determine valid repeater offsets based on IARU region and frequency, indicated by a "." after the frequency. -
