Dierk Vornheim (Germany)

Born in Woehrden, a little village about 80 km south of the Danish border at the coast of the North Sea in 1937. After visiting high school I made my education as a electrician and radio mechanic. Then I attended the Ships-Ingenieur-School in Flensburg where I got my 2nd Class R/O Licence in May 1959. After that I was R/O on board MV Carl Fisser/DCVU, MV Paul Honold/DECM and MV Widar/DHDW. After this, I was Radio Operator at german coastal Station NORDDEICH RADIO/DAN and Bearing Station ST. PETER-ORDING GONIO/DAG. The Photo: I’m watching the Frequency 500 kHz at DAN and in my rear the turning around “buoy” containing QTC’s for ships calling DAN for receiving their QTC’s. During visiting the school in Flensburg in 1958 i got Amateur Radio licence and callsign DL6NE. Later on my callsign changed tom DL8LD.
