DH1NGP radio relay vehicle (2025/09/17)
My good friend from Germany, DH1NGP Peter.
I visited his home twice, in December 2002 and June 2003, for a total of 20 days.

2002.was a program he was developing.SuperControl.Visited with Japanese localization.
2003.was a participation in HAMRADIO2003, the largest HAM festival in Europe, held in Friedrichshafen.


DH1NGP Peter and his wife Stefanie
We purchased a radio broadcast van that DH1NGP Peter was using at a broadcast station with a retractable pole.

Apparently it was purchased at an online auction on eBay for 16,000 euros (2,760,000 yen, or $18,780).
However, it seems that the item was submitted by a Danish radio station,
and they exchanged emails many times over the course of two months.

The electrically extendable pole is 9m.
Furthermore, a 10m pole is attached on top of that.


The car is a Mercedes-Benz van.
This is the dream car for HAM who loves mobile operation.
Peter is crazy about this car.
 
A major event for radio enthusiasts in southern Germany.
DH1NGP Peter's car is parked on the far right
It attracted a lot of attention from the participants

Radio relay vehicle equipped with FTDX101 and IC-9800
The antenna connector terminal and DC line are apparently original.
It is equipped with four 100AH batteries.
They plan to add solar panels in the near future.
 
The commercial ALAN 555 is a 27MHz and 28MHz radio.
