Many thanks for visiting my QRZ page.
Previous callsign was MI6WGM.
I have been a SWL for many years, but, due to continuous overseas travel with work, was never static long enough to gain my licence.
Now I am located permanently again in the UK, I have the opportunity to enjoy radio and my other hobbies of mountain walking, camping, orienteering, motorcycling and boating. I also get a chance to combine several of these together, and have recently started SOTA activating.
My teenage children join me quite often but mostly with activities which don't require expending too much energy, so they mostly only join me when motorcycling and boating! My Beagle dog, however, is always happy to spend time outdoors, including boating, so he is my most constant outdoor companion !
GQRP # - 13856
EPC # - 19283
DMC # - 05769
BARTG#- 8890
For outdoor work I use either an Icom IC-7000 or a Yaesu FT-817 for SOTA activations, and a variety of homebrew / made VHF and HF antennas; experimenting and making antennas being another interest.
In the shack I mostly use an Icom IC-9100. I also have a Yaesu FT-847 and am planning to start working satellites soon (although I've said this for some time now!). Antennas at home are a Carolina Windom 80 Special, a 10-20m Cobwebb and a Comet GP3 for VHF/UHF.
