Freie Deutsche Jugend

Badge used by the former "Freie Deutsche Jugend" (Free German Youth, a communist affiliated youth organisation) in the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany/DDR). I had/have no relations to FDJ (OZ1FDJ now OZ2M), but a nice kind of propaganda :-)

Ham history

VHF license 1979-Jun-13. HF license spring 1980.

Primary interest is the VHF bands, 50 MHz, 70 MHz and 144 MHz. I am not QRV on HF. My last HF QSO was on 2001-Oct-28. So do not expect to find me there. The only reason I have a HF capable radio is to use it for my 70 MHz transverter.

Callsign changed to OZ2M 2000-Jan-01.
