Germany
Germany's structure matches the UK's, with the Deutschland-Rundspruch news bulletin on 80m each Thursday and the long-running INTERMAR maritime mobile net on 20m. Most primary documentation is German-language.
Spectrum regulator — the FCC equivalent
BNetzA
Bundesnetzagentur (Federal Network Agency)

Nets in Germany
No nets published for Germany yet. We add them once a national society or regulator source confirms the schedule and frequency.
Times are as published locally. Club and branch nets shift frequency and time more often than national broadcasts — always check the source link before you tune up.

Notes and gotchas
- Deutschland-Rundspruch goes out Thursdays 17:30 UTC on 3777 kHz LSB and is relayed by many district stations.
- Radio DARC on 6070 kHz is a shortwave hobby programme, not a check-in net — it is listed here as a broadcast, not a net.
