Biography

I have been experimenting with HF radio since the early 1980's and I first became a licensed radio amateur in February 2004 as M3HTS. In August 2004 I got my 2E call sign 2E0HTS "Hotel, Tango, Sierra." These days I operate under the full call M0YKS.

I am a proud dad and have two daughters, as well as a loving YL and dog. I have a few motorcycles and enjoy all things related to engineering.
