Biography

MM6PMQ is located in the region of Berwickshire, approx 60km/40 miles South East of Edinburgh, the QTH is right on the North Sea coast approx 100m ASL with a good clear take off out over the water......

Mainly I don't stray far from HF with the occasional skirmish onto 6m.....less occasionally to 2m/70cm.
Something I recently liberated from storage is my Digimaster Pro Plus interface for datamodes which I enjoy but haven't used much since during the long hot summer that saw the UK on lockdown due to the plague!....

The software I use is MMSSTV, MixW 3.2, WSJT-X/WSJT-Z, JTDX & FLDigi...
FLDigi I like a lot and have used for quite some time...you just get used to some things I suppose....features include a logbook, callbook lookup, rig control and the list goes on.... I like PSK31/63, RTTY, and SSTV, lately more SSTV and PSK than anything else...

Since my last update my CAT cable has arrived, I wish I'd ordered one years ago!....no more wrong band logging on FT8!


Becoming proficient at CW is something I want to score off my list of things I should've done years ago but never stuck at it.....This is one of my favourite modes and try and make at least a few CW contacts everyday so if you hear my CQ then please do say hello...

All my QSOs, (SSB, CW, PSK, SSTV, RTTY. FT4/FT8 or otherwise) are automatically uploaded to eQSL, ClubLog, QRZ.com, LotW and HRDlog.net if not at the time of the QSO then certainly that same day.....
