Biography

I was very active when first licenced in the 1970s, primarily on 160m. During this time I was a member of Verulam ARC and the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) ARC.

Frequent changes of QTH, increasingly demanding jobs and slightly later a young family led to amateur radio being reduced to RSGB membership, reading Rad Com and not much else for just less than 40 years.

Bringing the story up to date, I have now retired and have had the time to rebuild my station and antenna systems from scratch and to finally start to enjoy the advances in communications and digital technology - if not the greater EMC problems. I am now active on all HF bands and new for me, 6m, 2m and 70cm.

I joined West Kent ARS at the end of 2017 and CDXC in March 2019. I have resumed my contest and DX interests.

Worked DXCCs:

DX Code Of Conduct

dx code of conduct small logoI support the "DX Code Of Conduct" to help to work with each other and not each against the others on the bands.
