Meet international member – Günter, DJ2XB

Meet Günter, DJ2XB / M0DXM  (Germany)

How long have you been licensed?

I received my licence in 1955, I was 19 years old then. It was a difficult time just ten years after WWII and the only way to take part in amateur radio was DIY.

And how long have you been a member of the RSGB?

I became a member of RSGB in July 2005. From 2008 to 2023 I was a GB2RS newsreader.

What would you say is the best thing about RSGB membership?

There are many things I enjoy as a member of the RSGB but most important for me nowadays is the warm friendship I experience.

Have you used the RSGB app to view RadCom?

I prefer reading the paper edition of RadCom. If I was younger, I would certainly consider the more modern media.

What would you say to someone considering whether to join the RSGB?

If you are interested in becoming a member of a large international community, I would recommend to join the Society. I have never regretted it.

Which is your favourite mode? 

My preferred mode nowadays is SSB on 40 and 80m. I did a lot of DX on 2m, 15m and 20m, but that’s a long time ago now!
