Biography

Hi,

Licenced since 2007, I am a QRP operator & so the foundation license suits me perfectly, I don't believe that some of the extremely high power options are necessary & probably help towards the interference across the bands. I like the challenge of stretching my signal as far as possible using QRP power limits.

Not much else to say really, other than I like camping & anything outdoors, I am a retired bushcraft instructor, although I still help out with certain events. I find that QRP radio is perfect for those outdoor trips especially the canoe trips.

I look forward to catching some of you on the bands.
