Biography

I've been licensed since 1995, but have been in to radio since I was 15 years old. In 2003 myself and my wife Sue G8JGC wanted a little sun so we moved to Turkey, in 2007 we finally got our Turkish call signs which took us 2 years to get and in fact they are the same callsign for both of us TA4ZN, we also got told that we needed our Antennas as HIGH as possible so here are our 2 towers sitting in the back garden which look really nice to a HAM operator who wants to get beams as high as possible.

Just a few pictures below of the towers and just some of the radio gear we have at the moment
