Biography

Hi ! Thanks for stopping.

Licenced in 1977 - Interested in homebrew equipment for HF - rag chewing - chasing DX -contesting - portable QRP operation from home and abroad.

Now back on the air after a long period of absence (1999 - 2020) due to work, family etc., and with retirement it was time to revitalise my interest in amateur radio.

Much has changed in the hobby and there is a lot to learn, so head down & bum up

Logbooks for the period prior to 1999 are still in paper format as with my awards.

Logs here reflect 2020 onwards.

Hope to meet you on the air!
