Biography

Thank you for looking me up.
My name is Paul, & I got my foundation licence in October 2017, & then passed my intermediate licence in June 2018. I live in a small village near the market town of Diss Norfolk. I have always been interested in radios & electronics, back in the 1960;s my father made me a crystal radio set, but because we lived about 2 miles from the mouth of the river Thames all it would pick up in those days was the pirate radio stations in the Thames Estuary. In the late 1960's my father gave me an old MW/SW/LW valve radio & along wire in the garden & I used to spend hours listening to the short wave radio stations & trying to write down the Morse code I could hear on it. Then in 1979/80 I got into CB radio's & used them for about 3 years. My set up is a Yaesu FT-450 D & a home made inverted "L" antenna.I'm interested in the weather & have my own personal weather station that up loads all the data that my station gets to my one of my websites https://wilneyweather.co.uk & my other website is http://myhomepage.org.uk on this site is just some of the things that I have made like a Tesla coil & a nixie valve clock.
