Biography

First licensed Feb 1981 as G6AIY, received Call sign G4NKW December the same year.
At home I operate on all HF bands from 160 to 10 metres also on 2 metres and 70cm also sometimes in the summer on 6 metres when the band opens.

Equipment

Base station is FT-DX10 with FT991A,currently exploring C4FM and DRM with a TYT handheld.
I also own a Yaesu FT2D handy which is another recent purchase and I find this very useful.
When mobile I have a Yaesu FT857D available which is also used /P sometimes.
Shack antennas are quite modest and consist of a G5RV for 40/80, a Cobwebb for the higher HF bands, a 3 band vertical for 2, 70 and 6 metres and a homebrew helical vertical for 160 metres, I have a typical small UK garden.
On holidays abroad I have used my FT817ND portable rig with great success.
