Hello, and thank you for looking me up. Below is my story in Ham Radio.
in March 1990 I obtained my novice call VK3NIG and in December that same year I did my Full Call theory giving me the combined license (Novice CW speed with Full-Call theory) and getting the call VK3KSD. In 1998 I took a 8 year break from the hobby.
In 2006 I was active again and found many changes in the hobby but was mostly interested in the new digital mode D-STAR. Getting myself an Icom ID-1 I played with data modes on 1.2Ghz. D-STAR Voice & Data was a mode I come to really enjoy. In September 2008 I obtained the full call VK3GY. The ex-owner of this call Gary (Now VK3ZP) was our neighbour for many years when I was a teenager and Gary showed me his restored Collins gear and this rekindled my interest in ham radio. So now having Gary's old call of VK3GY has a sentimental memory for me.
