Biography

Hi my name is Trev, callsign M0BUT,

I'm located in Pewsey,  approximately 15 miles north of Salisbury, in the county of Wiltshire, South West UK.
IO91, WAB SU15.
I have been interested in Radio for more years than I can remember. It all started when I was a young child and my parents bought me an Electronics kit for Christmas one year, and one of the projects was to build a Shortwave Radio, I was well and Trully hooked, when to my surprise it worked, and thats where the road to Amature Radio started for me.

I spent Many years as a shortwave listener with  19sets, Eddison s680x, and a Trio 9r59ds receiver connected to my crude homebrew tuners, then to either Doublets, longwires or Dipoles.

I then went on to Citizen Band Radio for a while, but always Strongly burning away in the back of my mind was the thought of getting onto the Amature Bands.

That was the push I needed to go for my Exams. In 1996 I enroled in the Novice course with a couple of friends, which we all passed and within 3 years of enroling into the Novice Exam, I had also taken and passed my 12 words per minute Morse Test with great help form  my friend Ian G5WQ, Then I studied for The Radio Amature Exam, and passed gaining my full licence.

My previous calls were, 2E1EMW & 2E0ARM.

In 2006, due to radio overdose I went off air for 12 years, returning in 2018.

I operate on the HF bands Mixed modes from 3 - 30 Mhz. (Mostly on the Warc Bands)


Thanks for taking time to read this page, and i look forward to hearing you or working you on the bands. 73 de M0but.
