DO5MTK

Hello and welcome to the website of the

German Amateur Radio Station DO5MTK

My name’s Markus, and I’m a radio ham since 2018.

My QTHR is situated in Kempten (Allgäu), a small town in the very south of Germany near the Austrian and Swiss borders, counting about 60,000 inhabitants.

I’m mostly working with digital modes and VHF/UHF (see contact information), because the installation and use of larger antenna systems is very limited in an urban environment. But I’m planning to set up a small mobile shack in the next few years.

In the real world I’m working as an IT professional. Other hobbies of mine are photography and traveling.

QTHR is an adaptation of the Q code QTH meaning location. QTHR refers to my home address.
