Biography

I have always had an interest in radio's in one way or another since i was little and later i got into being a SWL and CB but then living in turkey town(as leicester was known) i gave up CB and did more on SWL side of things . Then I aquired an FT-817 so thought i'd better get off my butt and do something propper in the hobby so i joined the HARES club and took the foundation course . As I now Iook after my octogenarian mother I hope to go further and take the intermediate course time/transport permitting. As you can see by my log you can find me in the digi mode section of the bands doing psk31 .
