About me
My name is Henrik and I am 62 years old. I have been married to my wife Elke for 44 years and we have two children, one son and one daughter. I have been active in DX and CB radio since 1995, first with the callsign 13CT724 and since 2007 in the Alfa Tango Club as 13AT115.
For me, radio is not only about technology. It also includes many personal memories, good conversations, new contacts and the joy of long-distance connections. That is exactly what this site is meant to show: my private station and the person behind it.
My home is near Freiberg, a historic university and mining town in the Erzgebirge. That background also shapes the atmosphere of this website.
Freiberg at a glance
History
Freiberg was founded in 1162/70 and has held town rights since 1296. With the Freiberg mining law, the town received the privilege of being the first free mining town in Germany in 1346. Silver deposits, mining law and a long mining tradition still shape Freiberg today.
Silver discoveries and mining have been documented since 1168, and mining ended in 1969. In 1765 the Freiberg Mining Academy was founded here, considered the oldest mining and metallurgy university in the world. With the Reiche Zeche visitor mine, this history can still be experienced directly today.
Well-known names
Among those who studied in Freiberg were Alexander von Humboldt, Mikhail Lomonosov, Novalis and Gottlob Abraham Werner. So the town stands not only for mining history, but also for science and culture.
Landmarks
The townscape includes the cathedral from the 13th century with the Golden Gate, the Silbermann organ, the town hall from 1470 as well as St. Petri and St. Nikolai church. These historic places are also part of the image of Freiberg that I connect with my station.
This homepage is intentionally private. It shows my station, my connection to Freiberg and my link to CB radio without marketing language and without unnecessary ballast.
