Biography

Thanks for visiting my QRZCQ page.

I have been interested in radio since the late 1970s and obtained my amateur licence in 1994.

After a gap of over 20 years, I became active again in November 2020, when my new logs begin.

I am active on all amateur bands from 160 metres to 70 cm on voice and digital modes (except 4 metres)

I am mainly interested in working DX and SOTA/POTA, using fairly modest equipment.

My QTH is at 600 ft (180 M) above sea level, which benefits VHF & UHF.

I live in the City of Leeds, in the County of West Yorkshire.
