Biography

I'm a retired Chief Laboratory Technician.
Hobbies are Amateur Radio (obviously!), messing about with electronics and Arduinos, Photography, Astronomy and Astronomical Imaging although not so much nowadays.
I'm a bit mike shy so I generally use FT4 and FT8, occasionally JT65 but there aren't many stations using it. Trying out JS8Call but not having much luck with it.

Worked DXCCs:
