Biography

My station whilst being manufactured in the 1970s has so far managed to win me the
VK2 section of the 2013 Rememberence day contest and contact
a fair amount of DX stations. I enjoy a ragchew and partake in a
variety of HF and VHF Nets. I enjoy contesting and love SSTV and
digital modes. Particularly PSK31 and RTTY.

I obtained my Foundation licence in July of 2013 and quickly
upgraded to standard in Sept of 2013.
I have been an avid SWL for many decades and now that i am retired i can concentrate
on gaining my "Full Call" within 1 year. I am in the process of establishing an
APRS/WX station using a few pieces of gear i picked up at various hamfests and flea markets.
