Biography

First licensed in 1981
I was issued my Australian license on February 3rd 2015.
Quite a bit has changed since I first became an amateur
I now spend most of my active hours as being /PM
It's very pleasant sitting on the rocks at the waters edge, having QSO's

My /PM setup consists of:-
¼ λ vertical for 20M, 5020mm long or 16' 5.635"
Emtron EAT-300A ATU (switched in Bypass mode on 20M)
​Homebrew Ground Tuning Unit. The GTU uses the base of the trolley as the counterpoise.
33AHr Deep Cycle AGM battery. Gives me over 3 hours or Portable working at full power.
all mounted on a small Magna Cart Folding Hand Truck.

Thanks to Alex, VK2HAS, for inspiring me with his Pedestrian Mobile set-up.
