The workgroup radio technology at the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT) is fully focused on amateur radio. Because the study courses are often very theory oriented, we looked for a way to create some balance. A big focus is our radio station with its corresponding antennas at the MTI-building. Our amateur radio callsign is DF0UK (UK for university of Karlsruhe). With this we are ready to transmit and receive on most frequencies of the shortwave bands (1.8-30 MHz), the "magic band" 6m (50 MHz), as well as VHF at 144 MHz.
We further wish to remember the discoverer of electromagnetic waves, Heinrich R. Hertz, who did his phenomenal discoveries at our university. Without him, amateur radio, but also today's communication society, would be unthinkable.
Lastly we want our activities to carry the name of KIT beyond the borders of Europe into the whole work. The group has existed since the late 1970s and is mainly composed of students.
Did we interest you? Then come over to one of our meetings at the station, as announced on our website. We are always happy to receive visitors. See you soon!
