Biography

First Licenced in 1974
I worked overseas for 30+ years during which time I was not active.
The last 20 years were in Italy and I returned to UK in 2015 where I re-discovered amateur radio.
My main interest is CW QRP and I am still re-learning CW and would greatly appreciate QRS QSOs and reports of my signal.
The intention is to work portable QRP and eventually SOTA activation when more competent.

Equipment

LNR MTR-3B running 2-3 watts on 20/30/40 metres

Recently purchased QRP Labs QCX for 80m and 17m each putting out about 2 watts (powered by 3S LiPo and LiFe batteries).

Restored Heathkit HW8 running 1 watt on 15 metres

My antennas are 15m random length End Fed wire and 1m diameter Mag Loop installed in the attic.

I have also recently installed a 3.6m diameter Mag Loop for 80m in the attic and would appreciate reports of my signal.
