Hello my name is Hamish born in Scotland 1948 to a Polish father and Scottish mother.

Thank you for visiting my page. If you wish to QSL please do so via the bureau, direct or eQSL, I'm also on LoTW. My Paper QSL card can be seen on this page as it is set as my main image, my eQSL card is different as it does not display my paper card correctly.

My original call sign was G1OUJ and have uploaded my old log book into QRZ for both my original call and my present call sign which dates back to 1985. 73's Hamish

First Licensed in the 80's as G1OUJ then in late 1986 gained my 'A' class license. I did not apply to get my 'A' call sign straight away as I wanted 'G0HLT', which was my initials, but after waiting quite some time for this call to come around I decided I could not wait any longer so took the next available one in January 87 getting G0GLG. Spent the first half of my life in HM Forces (both Army then RAF). After leaving the RAF I worked for British Telecom as an engineer becoming a Technical Officer before retiring in 2013.

I am a member of RAFARS, member number 2508.

My WAB square is SP62

My equipment is an FT991A running 100 watt on HF and 50 watt on 2m/70cm, as I only have a small garden I use an endfed wire around 132' for HF and a small 5 element/8 element dual band beam for 2m/70cm on a wind up mast.

Also now active with my IC-705 QRP setup when out portable, running 5 to 10watts

If you work me on FT8 or any other digital mode using WSJT-X, please upload your WSJT-X.adi file so that my qso's with your station can be verified, thank you.

I also have a QSO/QSL record on Lotw so if you record your QSO's on there then we both get confimation of our contacts.
