Biography

HI Guys & Gals,
I am Nick, based in Hull, East Yorkshire, England.
I have been licenced since the 80's, came back on in 2010 after being introduced to FT8.

I mainly operate QO-100 Satellite now as it's less noisy, but still there are idiots.
Spending so much money on equipment and just keying up over everyone, quite disgusting and childish.

The 2nd Rx is for experimentation, has a better signal than the 1Mtr dish for some reason.
