Biography

Thank you for visiting my page.

If we have recently worked, thank you for the QSO.

First licensed back in 1982 with G6PRZ I operated regularly on 2m from the East Midlands just south of Nottingham. I took the morse test and gained my current callsign G4VHJ a year later and was active until I went to music college in London. Sporadic activity for the rest of the eighties until I moved to Ewell (Surrey) in 1994. I am enjoying catching up on developments in radio communication that have passed me by in the last three decades!

During Covid-19 lockdown in the U.K. I have been experimenting with a variety of portable antennas in my garden. Inverted vee dipoles for 40/30/20/17 and 10 metres with more bands to come soon! I'm getting back into CW and have a new Iambic paddle as well as a Kent straight key.

Looking forward to working you soon.

73's Julian
