The Kronach Local Association (B21) was established on October 17, 1959, by 7 amateur radio operators and 5 shortwave listeners. Today, it consists of 46 members. As the 21st local association in the former Bavaria-North district (renamed to Franken district in 1973), it received the internal code B21, which is why our website's address is www.bravo21.de. When spoken in amateur radio, B21 would be spelled out as "Bravo 21."
Activities and Facilities:
The Kronach local association is actively involved in several projects, including operating the DB0KCH relay station in Kronach-Gehülz and the DL0KC club station. For local communication, we use the following frequencies:
