Inside Germany’s Historic Radio Club – Celebrating 1,050 Years of Signals!

A Radio Club Steeped in Saxon History

Nestled in the quaint town of Kohren-Sahlis, the Kohrener Land Radio Club (S35) isn’t just keeping amateur radio alive—it’s celebrating 1,050 years of local heritage with a special broadcast event!

With their flagship station DL0KSL, members light up the airwaves across shortwave (KW) and ultra-shortwave (UKW) bands, whether they’re chasing distant contacts (DXing), competing in contests, or operating from the great outdoors.

Join the Frequency Family

🔹 Newcomers welcome! The club prides itself on being a friendly hub for radio enthusiasts in the Frohburg region, with strong ties to neighboring clubs.
🔹 Tune in: Catch their signals on 145.550 MHz (FM) or via the DB0LLA repeater (439.3625 MHz).
🔹 Want to try before you commit? Just reach out—they’re happy to let you "reinschnuppern" (sniff around)!

Special Edition: 1,050 Years of Kohren

📻 S35 is marking Kohren’s millennium-plus milestone with a limited-time special callsign: DOK 1050KS, active from March 1 to November 30, 2024.
🎉 The town’s big anniversary festival hits its peak on September 21—and the club will be broadcasting the excitement worldwide.

"We’re putting Kohren on the map—literally, via radio waves!" says member Arndt Kluge (DG4LXM).

QSL Cards: The Vintage Vibe of Radio

💌 The club’s custom QSL cards (physical confirmations of radio contacts) are a throwback to the golden age of ham radio—exchanged globally by mail.

Why This Club Stands Out

From historic celebrations to cutting-edge contests, S35 blends tradition with tech. Whether you’re a Morse code master or a radio rookie, there’s a wavelength for you here.
