As Europe’s largest trade fair for amateur radio, HAM RADIO offers the perfect platform for radio enthusiasts from all over the world.

A unique aspect of HAM RADIO is the combination of trade exhibitors, internationally networked associations and Europe’s largest radio flea market.
In this context our good friend Gabry IK1NEG, keen Antarctic hunter, has got a chance to meet a well known Antarctic veteran, Volker Strecke DL8JDX who did present his new book “Expedition Antarktika”
Volker said: «The sales of my two books in German language went well. The English version will follow after selling more German books». Volker is also trying to find out whether there would be any interest in an Italian or French version. In this case he should find a person able to translate the manuscript!
Volker, Ex-Callsigns: DM3LTG, Y43UG, Y24LN, Y88POL, DP0GF, DP0GVN was member of several Antarctic Expeditions:
1988-89 Y88POL Georg-Forster-Base

1992-94 DPØGVN Neumayer-Base
Gabry add: I have been Very pleased to have met DL5LX, another top Antarctic Veteran, and several long time DX friends such as Luis CT4NH, E77DX Braco, OE3FTA Flo & Ljuba YU5EA, Baldur DJ6SI and few others; “It has been a great deal of pleasure”, IK1NEG said.
