Biography
Hello. My name is Tony and live in Rotherham having moved from Kingston Upon Hull in 2007
I initially began radio as a SWL since the age of 10 and also a CB'er & 11m Operator (26AT324)
I passed my M3 License in 2002 then onto my 2E0 Intermediate and finally my C&G full license in December 2003 and held previous callsigns of M3TDC & 2E0TDC. I was also M0MTD as i couldn't get the M0TDC Callsign.
So i have just managed to change it to M1TDC
I am ex RAF MTD from 1979 - 1992 (Gulf War Veteran 1990/91), Paramedic & Firefighter until 1994. I was injured in the Gulf War and could no longer work so i went to university at the late age of 32 and completed a Busines Engineering Degree (BSc Hon's) that should have been 4 yrs but i did it in 3yrs.
For those I have spoken to - Many thanks and look forward to working you hopefully sometime in the future.
Unfortunately due to illness I have not been very active in the past few years.
I am a Member of LOTW, IRN, Echolink, The Guild, Network Radio, Teamspeak3 & Peanut.
I am also trying my hand with MMDVM HOTSPOTS for YSF, D-Star, DMR & NXDN
I also use an ALLSTAR Radio-Less NODE & DV-Mega.
NO MATTER WHO WE ARE, OR WHERE WE ARE,
WE ARE ALL FRIENDS TOGETHER !
PLEASE STAY SAFE........
Tony de M1TDC
Have a Happy and successful 2026.
