Biography

Interested in radio since I was 8 years old .. a long time ago!
First licenced in 1983 and after trying various modes I started to use a teleprinter, then a computer to work RTTY. Since then I have only been active on the data modes, mainly in RTTY contests and DXing.
Currently I have 250+ DXCC confirmed on RTTY and always look for more!
