Dear YLs, XYLs and OMs welcome to Kassel.
We hope that you enjoy our city. The official information portal is kassel.de – you find there information in english too.
You can find a lot of general HAM stuff at the “Visitors to DL” page of the DARC (Germany Amateur Radio Club). There are also an FAQ, license, CEPT informations and more.
The local club F12 Kassel has a long tradition of amateur radio. The ‘Radioklub Cassel’ was founded back in 1924. In contrast the DARC exists since 1950. The F12 has about 90 members.
You can meet us to the official F12 meetings, which is the first wednesday in month at 7:30 PM. The location is the little pub ‘Laubenpieper’. Guests are very welcome.
In case you have no CEPT relation or license there may be possible to use educational calls of several OM.
