Biography

Thank you for visiting my page, my name is Will.

My current radio room has a Icom IC-7300 for HF/VHF communications. I use a ground mounted Butternut HF9V vertical and a 80-6m Alpha Antenna J-pole Jr. as a sloper.I have an Icom IC-705 for portable operation and I use this with homebrew wire antennas; a 40-10 EFHW and a Random wire with a 9:1 UNUN.

I have a IC-R8600 that I use for Shortwave lisenting and scanning. I use a ALA1530 loop antenna for HF, I also use a Boni Whip active antenna for LW/MW. I use a Diamond DJ130 Discone for V/UHF reception.

I am a member of the British DX Club (BDXC) and the Medium Wave Circle. I am also a member of the Coventry Amateur Radio Society (CARS)and the RSGB. I live in Stratford upon Avon, which is known for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare.

I firmly believe amateur radio is one of the good and decent things in an increasingly angry and frustrated world. With it we can set an example of international friendship, where we can help and support each other.

A special thank you goes to everyone who has helped me setup my station and shared their lessons and wisdom; especially N3IL and M0HOU.

I hope you enjoy my page and I look forward to having a QSO with you soon!
