Biography

Hi !

Thanks for stopping.

The passion here is CW - Licenced in 1977 - Interested in homebrew equipment - rag chewing - chasing DX - contesting - and QRP from home and abroad.

Now back on the air after a long absence (2000 - 2020) due to work, family etc., and then retirement my interest in amateur radio was renewed.

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

Logbooks for the period prior to 2000 are still in paper format as with my awards.

Logs here reflect 2020 onwards.

Hope to meet you on air!
