history

The predecessor of the CQ DL was the magazine CQ, which appeared for the first time on May 1, 1927. That was the publication of the German Amateur Broadcasting Service, which was part of the German Radio Technology Association (DFTV) and linked the German Reception Service and German Broadcasting Service groups. The independent association of the German Amateur Broadcasting and Reception Service (DASD), and thus the breakup from DFTV as a collecting pool for all radio enthusiasts, happened later.

The CQ appeared in issues 1/27 to 7/28 each as an independent magazine. From issue 8/28 it was a regular and now more or less independent part of the magazine Funk-Bastler , which was published by DFTV.

Two magazines were founded immediately after the Second World War: QRV Amateur Radio (publisher was Körner-Verlag) and, as a re-establishment, the magazine CQ as a publication by DARC. With the establishment of an overall DARC - until September 1950 there had been independent DARC associations in the individual occupation zones - the two amateur radio magazines QRV Amateur Radio and CQ were merged into a single sheet under the new name Das DL-QTC .

The DL-QTC appeared in this form until 1971. Then the ways parted again and the DARC now published its amateur radio magazine under the name cq-DL - which has been published since 1972 - until today under the slightly changed title CQ DL.
