As a young man he is enthusiastic for the electrical and especially the radio equipment was his hobby. 1937 Listeners license was granted to.
Therefore, he was also in the Army to the news department.

After WWII he started again as soon as it was possible as an amateur radio operator. In 1945 he was registered as an amateur.
