Biography

Scottish radio communications enthusiast with a technical brain, a wee bit rusty but still ticking over.
My main interests include electronics, restoration of old equipment, analog and digital communications, offroad mountain biking and exploring the landscape. Amateur Radio brings these all together rather nicely.

I am a member of the Worked All Britain Awards Group.
