Biography

I have recently published the book "My Island Holidays With Radio" which is a collection of memories from holiday trips I have made with the radio over the last 12 years. During these trips I visited 30 islands belonging to 29 IOTA groups.
The book, printed on chalk paper, contains 159 full color pages, several hundred photos and many tables with QSO statistics.
The preferred way to order the book is PayPal (send me an email to learn details) however you can also find it on the ebay.com site.
