1993
Prof. Ulrich Rohde KA2WEU was guest at the hotel Flüela in
Davos. The owner of the hotel Andreas Gredig established contact
to the local radio amateur Stephan Perren HB9QS.
The
plan emerged to overcome the isolation on VHF and UHF by installing
a repeater on top of the mountain.
Soon
thereafter an ICOM repeater flew with Ulrich from New York to Paris
(probably the first ICOM repeater that flew at Mach 2).
The
BAKOM ("Swiss FCC") issued the call sign HB9HAI for the
station on top of the Mountain Weissfluh near Davos.
The
relay group Davos - Parsenn was founded with HB9HAR Thomas Siegler,
HB9XX Adolf Geisseler and HB0STZ Ruedi Eggenberger from Liechtenstein.
