Vogtland's Vibrant Radio Hub
In the heart of Saxony's lace-making capital, the Plauen Radio Club (S53) is weaving together tradition and cutting-edge technology. With Plauen's 66,000 residents as their backdrop, these radio enthusiasts are putting this historic city on the global amateur radio map.
Why This Club Stands Out
🧵 Cultural Connection: Blending Plauen's famous textile heritage with modern radio tech
📡 Urban Advantage: Strong signals from Saxony's fifth-largest city
🌉 Border Crossings: Regular international contacts near Czech/German frontier

Ronualt Peschlow (DL1JGG) - Webmaster and tech guru - maintains their digital presence while keeping traditional radio values alive:
• Preserving Plauen's radio history
• Mentoring new generations of operators
• Bridging analog and digital worlds
