Biography

Passed my UK Foundation licence in Jan 2024 with call sign M7WKZ. Shout out to Essex Ham who run a brilliant online course!
Decided to take "Direct to Full" through self study and now have call sign M0WKZ as of 11th Nov 2025.

By day, I'm a Technical Specialist for a Heating & Ventilation manufacturing company, so I deal with heat pumps, electric heating, datalogging & remote diagnostics. A mix of F-Gas refrigeration, electrical, plumbing and IT.

Outside of work, I'll often be found near a 3D printer, electronics workbench or tinkering with Linux in some form. Been a shortwave listener for a while too.

QSL - No post, eQSL only, thanks!
