Karl-Heinz Schmitz
Welcome to my Website.
I was born 1957 in Wilhelmshaven, a small city in the north of Germany at the north sea.
After school and podiatry I studied computer science in Hamburg.
I'm licensed as DB7BN since 1975.
Since 1982 I work as an IT-Analyst and System-Administrator – specialized at communication (email, Internet, Intranet). Currently I'm working as a Senior IT Manager in the Infrastructure Operation area for a Japanese company in Hamburg.
I'm married and have a son, who was born in 1989.
Now we live in a very small village, named Neuendeich, 35 km north west from Hamburg, direct at the river Elbe.
My ham radio interests are:
- build and test new equipment and antennas
- DXing
- Software Defined Radio (SDR)
I also like to ride bicycle, seek Geocaches and play chess.
Hope to meet you on the bands.
