Handewitt
is a village in the North of Germany, 5 km off the border to Denmark, famous for the handball team.
This is where I live with my wife, daughter and son. The closest city is Flensburg: 86000 inhabitants, nice harbour, beaches nearby.
I was born there in 1971. I grew up in Satrup, a village in the landscape of Angeln, about 25 km from here.
Radio
is my hobby and my profession. You can find some information about "DXing" (listening to distant stations)
on these web pages, as well as about good music shows. I've invested quite a lot of time into the software development of
FMSCAN. You can create maps and bandscan predictions (frequency lists) for any place in the world
with this online tool. It's based on the comprehensive databases FMLIST and AMLIST to which I've also contributed a lot.
Professionally I write and present regional news
and reports for the NDR (North German Public Radio) most of it appearing on
NDR 1 Welle Nord (550.000 listeners daily).
Music:
I like styles between songwriting, alternative country, rock, folk, southern rock,
guitar stuff mainly,
but also some soul, jazz, world music and even electronic music from chill-out to
progressive remixes.
Internet and satellite radio have made it possible to listen to many interesting bands. Visit my Satellite Radio
site to read more about it.
Own Bands:
Samstag der 14. (power rock and punk) started
at school and resulted in several festival gigs, then during the university times "The Midnight Breeze" (blues), since 1996 Princes On The Run (indie-folk songwriting) and
since 2005 Abraham's Zebra (unplugged music for pubs).
