Postcard from Berlin - NOT amateur radio

 

We are back from Berlin. 

First shack


This photo of a shack in California got me thinking of my first shack. Actually it was a small corner of a bedroom and occupied a space of about 1m by 0.3m. Personally, QRP seems to get results.

Iceland - NOT amateur radio

 


Some years ago we went to Iceland. It was a total surprise. We expected a barren land with volcanic ash everywhere. Instead we found a green country with loads of wild lupins as a Vik shown in the photo.

Pergamon museum Berlin - NOT amateur radio

This museum has a massive collection of antiquity items. It is well worth a visit. 

Seen in Berlin - NOT amateur radio

Not exactly a rare bird, but still very handsome. This thrush was in the Tiergarten earlier. 

Amateur radio cartoon


This was sent to me by G1KQH some time ago. With QRP RF burns are rare. I have no idea where it originated from. 

Am I a spy?


A few days ago we went to the Spy Museum in Berlin. My wife said that my shack looked similar!
