Biography

I got into radio when I was a 7 year old due to my Dad being a Radio Engineer in RAF during WWII, he got me a Crystal set and I was hooked, I was a SWL for a long time, I became a Radio Television and Electronics Engineer and also worked as Telephone Engineer till I retired, I'm now 83 years old, as you might see I have a good collection of Tranceivers some are a bit older valve type and a few solid state, I've been of the band's due to health reasons but look forward to getting back on again sometime, I'm also into Amateur Astronomy, Got a Private Pilots Licence in the 1970's flew Piper Cherokee PA28, I'm also interested in what NASA is doing in the future, and do a bit of photography, here's a one of the funny things that's happened to me for example had a few electric shocks but must have survived them as I'm here to tell the story.
