I was born in Raised in London (England)and at the age of 12 I joined the sea cadet corps.
I was on the Ship H.M.S. Belfast Moored on the River Thames in London.
We did a tour of the ship when we got to the wireless bridge on the ship I remember this guy talking on the radio (later found out he was a ham) I forget his call this was back in late 1976.
I was really impressed with this, later I learned radio communication and did learn Morse at 13.
The years went by and at 18 did buy my 1stCB as then they had just became legal in the UK.I was not happy with this and sorry to say I did buy a SSB CB that are Illegal in the UK.
I was closed down by those very nice men from the home office and so from 1983 until 1988 when I got the bug for radio again wanted to do it legal so I went night classes and took the Radio Amateur Exam (RAE) and passed and was later in 1989 issued with what was then a B Class license of G7FOL.
I carried on with this Call sign until December 1990 when I took and passed my 12WPM Morse test then I was issued with a full A Class in January 1991 as G0OMM.
Later in 1992 I was heavily into Packet Radio and ran a BBS call GB7OMM.
Then in 2000 I moved to where I am now and with moving and setting up home the hobby took to the back seat until about September 2009, I was talking to a guy at work that wanted to became a ham and that got me wanting to get back in and so I took the exam on October 19thand passed and was issued with my call of KJ4PXH.
I was surprised how rusty I have become.
I Took and passed my General Classon 11/07/09.
As of today (04/17/2011) i sat and passed my Extra Class.
