Richard Westerman

While living in the US, in 2008 I founded Spiderbeam-US, the North American distributor for [German] Spiderbeam Antennas.

When I returned to Germany in 2011, I took over responsibility for running the German Spiderbeam Shop, as well as doing Tech Support. 

I retired from the sales/marketing responsibility in January of 2018, but still do the high-end Tech Support for Spiderbeam.

I also designed the Aerial-51 product line of Antennas which Spiderbeam and its global resellers sell.

I am the President of the Main-Spessart chapter of the Deutscher Amateur Radio Club.

Now that I'm retired, I want to devote more time to my favorite aspect of our hobby, portable (field) operations, especially using QRP.
