Biography

What you need to know about this station - I log to QRZ straight away or certainly no later than the end of a pass for satellite ops. Please check my QRZ logbook if we've just worked, if you're in there you'll be in my LOTW logbook at the end of the month guaranteed. I usually upload a file to LOTW, QRZCQ and EQSL last day of the month or first day of the next month, please consider entering our QSO onto QRZ.com even if you don't use it yourself, it's my primary log book and I'd be most grateful. Thank you.

Licenced since 1987 but left the hobby for a long time (I went fishing a lot instead!), I've been back on the bands since 2015 after a 25 year absence.
I mainly work data modes, mostly FT8 but I can pop up anywhere, RTTY, PSK, VARA HF, SSTV or any other mode on the hf bands that's data related. VarAC, Packet and SSTV are currently flavour of the month when I'm not on FT8.

Feel free to say hello if you hear me about.

Equipment

Currently I'm running a very small station, I have an Icom IC7100 and a shortened end fed half wave mounted on a 12m spider pole at the bottom of the garden, the antenna is an 'inverted L' configuration.
For satellite ops I have an IC9700, M2 Leo Antennas and the Yaesu G5500/SAT Controller for guiding the antennas.
