As we celebrate 40 years of DARC Ortsverband Murgtal (A5Ø), 2025 is set to be a year of exciting activities for us! With the DLØMUR club station at the forefront of our operations, we are proud to offer the special DOK 4ØA5Ø throughout the year to commemorate our founding in 1985.

QSL Cards and Member Services
Our club supports efficient QSL card exchange for members, leveraging the DARC QSL service. Since 2019, we’ve been uploading our logs to platforms such as DCL, LotW, and eQSL. We encourage members to organize their outgoing QSL cards by country and follow guidelines to ensure smoother operations. For more information, please refer to the DARC QSL Bureau.

We hold regular OV-Abende (Club meetings) every second Friday of the month, where both licensed amateurs and newcomers are always welcome to join. We meet at the Restaurant Zum Alten Schweden in Bad Herrenalb, located at Dobeltal 30, 76332. These gatherings allow members to exchange ideas, discuss technical topics, and enjoy social interactions.
Additionally, we have various activities throughout the year:
- Field Days: We organize outdoor operations for hands-on practice.
- Contests and Diplomas: Our members participate in various contests and are actively involved in obtaining various amateur radio diplomas.
- Morse Code (CW) Operation: CW (Morse code) is a significant activity in our club, and we encourage both learning and competition in this method.
