Biography

** Due to online fraud using callsigns trawled from around the 'net, I have no equipment for sale or the need to buy anything....**

Now located in IO86ba....

First licensed late 1980's, returned to SWL'ing, bcame active again in late 2008. Active from the home QTH on HF and VHF, most days I'm out on my bike, 2m handheld in my bag....check APRS....

Active on 2m FM and SSB plus 4m FM whilst doing any SOTA or other hilltop work, only one hill activated in 2019 but now relocated in Central Scotland hoping to pick up activations again.

On HF been active on FT8, FT4, JT65, occasional WSPR and PSK modes.

If you see me on either JT65/FT8/FT4, give me a call on JTAlert text for a sked or a chat!

Working hard towards WAS, I need ND and NV...please call it would be appreciated!

My WAB(Worked All Britain) for IO86ba is NS 88 and for IO75pw was NS 37.....

HF antenna is a 'stealth' dipole cut to 40m due to size and other restrictions.

Blog HERE of my radio and other adventures.

My photo is of me at the summit of Goat Fell SOTA after activating the hill.

Other interests are cycling, hillwalking and benchmarking.

My QSL preferences are electronic and I prefer eQSL, LoTW, Club Log and QRZ.com but paper cards welcome through the Bureau. I will exchange cards by direct mail, if you need my card, please email me first!

Presently a RSGB member and have received some recent QSL cards. If you have sent me a card since 2009 and have had no return, please contact me by my email address and I will return a card ASAP. I did note on my pre-2015 bio, I had no bureau facility.

Other clubs are GQRP, SOC, WAB.
