Hi and welcome to my homepage!

My name is Dzianis, I’ve been a licensed radio amateur holding the callsign DD1LD since 2006. I’m also a keen mountaineer living in Munich, the capital city of Bavaria quite close to the Alps. I’m very often on the air under my nickname Luk while operating mostly CW or Morse code, SSB or phone and rarely RTTY or teletype on HF, VHF and UHF bands.

I’m usually QRV from home, DLØTUM club station and as a guest operator at DL1A/DJ6ZM.

I just love CW at any speed and enjoy CW rag chewing from time to time.

I like contesting also known as radio sport and chasing rare DX stations, also with low power and a piece of wire. I love pile-ups from both sides of the radio, even if I don't break them.

I enjoy the Summits On The Air (SOTA) program combining my both favourite hobbys – mountaineering and ham radio – together, and I love operating short wave QRP CW from an alpine summit. In addition, these mini expeditions are keeping me fit.

I despise cheating and unsportsmanlike conduct, I don't see any reason for that!

I like travelling alone and with friends, by plane, car, bus, train or boat and I’m always dreaming about going on a DXpedition and operating from an exotic or foreign place.

I enjoy engineering, experimenting and homebrewing... as much as I can.

And yes, I blog if I have some news to share. Please read QTC de DD1LD here.

I like chatting to other hams and meeting new people and friends all over the world. Just drop me a line at [mycall]@gmx.de while visiting Munich.
