Welcome to my world! 🌍
Hi, I'm Christoph, my amateur radio callsign is DC6CX, but on the air, I'm also known as Chris. 👋
On this website, I share posts about the things that excite me in my free time. Here, I show what I do – true to the motto: "ChrisMakesHis". You'll find posts primarily about amateur radio, electronics projects, and VHF contests.
Feel free to check out my (https://www.chrismakeshis.com/en/01.Blog), where you’ll find an overview of all the projects and topics I’ve been working on recently.
A lot of what I share revolves around amateur radio, especially my radio measurement vehicle and VHF contests. In my free time, I also enjoy working on general electronics and experimenting with software development solutions. As a contrast, I love going on bike tours and finding ways to make cycling more enjoyable for my wife Sandra and me.
On this website, I aim to not only show what I do but also share what I’ve learned and how I tackle new challenges. Maybe you’ll find inspiration for your own projects here or feel encouraged to try out something new. If you find something interesting, feel free to let me know and get in touch with me.
Chris, DC6CX

But who could have guessed that the conditions would turn out to be so good?
