Biography
Hello
Name is Joe and I have been licensed since May 1989, I first became interest in radio at the age of 14 and following my formal education joined the Merchant Navy, I spent many hours in the ships radio shack just listening to the traffic. I am active on the HF/VHF/UHF Bands using Packet/RTTY/SSTV/CW/TELEPHONY Modes. My HF Equipment consists of Vintage Yaesu Radio's and own complete systems of the FT-101ZD, FT-902DM & FT-901DM Transceivers and all the associated accessories to this range. I repair and service my own equipment and enjoy the fulfilment of being able to diagnose and rectify radio faults.
