DF3CB's Radio Station
Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4
The current DF3CB Radio Station - built in 1995 - is located in Munich, Germany, in a semi-industrial area. The station consists of a radio room and three towers. The place is rented and it was an unique opportunity to get it.
The towers are spread in a triangle over an area of some 10,000 square meters - each some 70m apart. More than one kilometer of coax and control cables is used to connect the antennas to the shack.
Despite the city location I am rather lucky with the QRM situation. There is hardly any noise from 80m to 6m however on 160m there is a continusous S7 noise level on 160. There is unfortunately no room for beverage antennas.

The radio room has two operating positions. Position #1 is equipped with two YAESU FT-1000MP's (for SO2R), ACOM 2000A and Alpha 87A amplifiers plus a Kenwood TS-2000 for six meters. The operating desk was completely redesigned in October 2007.

Position #2 is used as second or third station in phone contests. You see Thomas, DL4MCF operating in CQWW 2001 SSB. All positions are equipped with computers using a Win-Test network.
 
The antennas are turned by three M² OR-2800 rotators and switched with microHAM antenna switches - either automatically or manually.
