M5TDC Callsign on QRZCQ.com

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.

In November 2025 I managed to change my callsign to M5TDC.

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 Business 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.

I also use HUBNET & ALLSTAR (Built by G7RPG - Thanks Peter) - NODE #66845

(Many will know me as the guy with the 2hr CIGAR).

NO MATTER WHO WE ARE, OR WHERE WE ARE,

WE ARE ALL FRIENDS TOGETHER !

PLEASE STAY SAFE........

Tony de M5TDC

Have a Happy and successful 2026.
