HAM RADIO 2024: From June 28 to 30, everything will revolve around amateur radio in Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance. In cooperation with the organizers, the DARC, as the conceptual sponsor of Europe's largest amateur radio trade fair, this meeting will open the doors to a world of almost unlimited possibilities.
Friedrichshafen celebrates 60 years of IOTA – Islands On The Air!
Since 1964, the international IOTA program has been promoting radio contacts with stations on islands around the world, from small rocky reefs in the vast ocean to the largest islands in the world. That sounds like adventures in remote corners of the earth, and that's exactly what many IOTA fans and active participants can tell tales about. IOTA stands for the joy of discovery that every radio amateur develops, even if he or she does not set sail personally, but IOTA is also a symbol of friendly competition among radio amateurs. Finally, IOTA is a symbol of the significance of amateur radio as a global unifying force.
That's why the motto of the 47th HAM RADIO is "60 years of Islands on the Air: technology meets adventure!"
The lecture program of 47th HAM RADIO, in Friedrichshafen, is online at https://www.darc.de/nachrichten/veranstaltungen

This powerful and fast deep-sea salvage tug “Seefalke” (Sea Falcon) was built in Germany in 1924. She was the first Diesel salvage tug world wide and as one of the largest and most powerful salvage tugs in her day, she started the German Emergency tow vessels.
During a bomb raid in 1945 she sank at the port of Kiel, on the German Baltic coast. After the war, when the Allies wanted to fill the harbour basin with rubble to make it unusable, the ship´s owner secretly raised the “Seefalke” and sunk her again in the outer Kiel Fjord.
After the Allies lifted the salvage prohibitions in 1950, MS Seefalke was finally raised; repaired, modernised and returned to service. Active as a salvage tug for another 20 years, she was decommissioned in 1970 and handed over to the German Maritime Museum Bremerhaven. Ever since she has been an exhibit in Bremerhaven‘s Old Harbor and open to the public.
Maritime Radio
Voice radio introduced around 1900 was a ground breaking communication medium and until the early 1980s contact on the world's oceans was exclusively via radio.
Today however, large ships communicate digitally and via satellite. Morse and radio messages are no longer essential and probably unknown among younger people using smart-phones and social media. Radio on ships, now an out-dated technology, still has its nostalgic fans and is remembered by members of the German Amateur Radio Club (DARC).
Amateur Radio onboard Seefalke
since March 1st, 1976, members of the Bremerhaven section of the DARC, have operated the club station DK0SN, in its permanent location in the ship‘s former radio room, using museum-like old equipment.
“Happy Birthday”: The “Seefalke” turns 100 years old
DK100DDSR Special event club station onboard MS "SEEFALKE"
in the German Maritime Museum, Bremerhaven, Germany
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of MS SEEFALKE and to commemorate the ship's original call sign “DDSR“, the Bremerhaven section of the DARC, created a special event station, which will operate from January 1st until December 31st, 2024.
QSL: via DARC bureau or direct via DL2BJW Marita Westphal-Blome
Marita Westphal-Blome (DL2BJW) a German amateur radio operator from Bremerhaven, broadcasts to many countries from the radio room on the museum ship “Seefalke” in Bremerhaven.
Marita came to radio in 1994 through her husband Winfried DL3BJX. In 2000, Winfried was made chief operator of the Bremerhaven club station DK0SN onboard “SEEFALKE”.
Marita and Winfried spent many days and weekends through the years 'on-air' in the radio room. At the same time, introducing radio to interested visitors and tourists on board the museum ship. Winfried died in January 2015 and Marita took on the responsibility for the club station DK0SN onboard SEEFALKE .
“There are around 75,000 radio amateurs in Germany, ten percent of whom are female. There are three women in Bremerhaven. As one of them, I often have an advantage and quickly get into conversation,” says Marita, whose knowledge of English is an advantage for international communication.
Normal “contact” via radio follows strict rules and has little to do with small talk: “Usually we exchange information about our location and what type of technology we are using. The fact that I'm on a museum ship often causes amazement."
