Hi thankyou for looking up my info.

I'm Nick from near Liverpool UK.

Been interested in radio since the 60s as a kid...alway been a listener till 2013 when I got my first Amateur Radio Licence....no idea why I left it so long.

My main interest is HF...and do very little vhf/uhf...80/160m main bands of interest.

Had lots of interests over the years inc being a very keen airband listener HF and VHF.

Also Scuba Diving and boats was an big part of my life some years ago...after that I developed my interest in aviation and getting my light aircraft polots licence and owning my own small airplane...not the tiger moth in the picture unfortunatly.

Alway a keen DIY motor mechanic doing all my own car repairs on my near 50 year old Series 3 Landrover that I have owned from new.

Bit more recently I have for some reason and I am not quite sure why...developed and interest in old classic motorcycles...alway thought bikes were dangerous things but I lover them now....I and no fan of going fast on motorcycles...I own a 50 year old BSA.

Would love to be able to send CW...but at 67 its hard for me to pick it up.
