Please note .... My name and callsign is being used in a scam.... a little bit of scum is using my name and callsign to sell equipment

If offered any gear please contact me direct on

ian.g3roo@btinternet.com

Married to Margaret (2E1DFH, M3ROO) Daughter Wendy and Son Richard. Grandaughter Nicole (Wendy).
Station is extensive!
Main shack IC7800 and PW1 home brew linear
Attic and caravan houses GB2SPY museum. All operational (as far as I can keep it) a collection of WW2 spy and manpacks. Open for visitors to operate by appointment.
Workshop which hosts 'The Dover Construction Club' which has now been running for 25 years with a maximum of seven members. Callsign G0ROO is active on thursday evenings and weekends. Usually got a trusty IC7200 on the bench
A further shack is available for visitors and contest groups with it's own 40ft tower .... sits waiting for a radio!
Then we have 'Ian's Playpen' A small mobile shack built on the base of a trailer tent. Used on a regular basis at shows and special events. Complete with it's own 40ft Spiderbeam pole, Wind Generator and Solar panels can be used to help maintain battery charge.
Aerial farm consists of three towers. Western 60ft heavy duty ( was 80 ..... do not mention rusty wires!) One 60ft strumec spaced 140ft and 40ft alongside contest shack. Rotator and aerials from this shack can be controlled from the main shack as well.

3 ele Steppir for HF, 80m dipole between the two 60ft towers which is used as a Marconi on 160 and 600m. Very extensive earth system which is 2Km long to the south, 600m to the west and 200m to the north. Over 400 earth rods are now in the ground and more being added each year!
For 160m Rx aerials we have four loops which can be relay selected from the shack giving some added QRN immunity. These are 100m from the house.

Various other aerials pop up now and again!

Main interests are CW, I also do slow Morse QSO's on 3564 (+/_) at 1830 clock time as many days of the week that I can manage.... usually three or four.
Other interests including Gliding (instructor) and just about everything else!

I better shut up now but perhaps the best Biography I have was writtien by George Dobbs, G3RJV for my little booklet, Practical and Tested Aerial Systems, (pubilised by www.lulu.com, £7). This started life as a 'data sheet' for novices but expanded to the point that it was too expensive to produce as a handout!
I first met Ian, G3ROO, in the early 1980’s, when I was a guest speaker at a radio club in Kent. I spotted him immediately as the sort of radio amateur I liked; a “let’s do it” amateur. In the years that followed I have enjoyed many of the practical projects that Ian has designed and had published in a variety of magazines. Ian and I wrote many articles for the “old style” Short Wave Magazine in the 1980s and I had the pleasure of jointly writing a series of articles with Ian on “Simple Sideband”. Ian’s articles on transceiver design with the Plessey SL range became classics of the 1980s. Ian and I have been joint travellers, and speakers, at amateur radio conventions in the USA, at Dayton and in Texas.
Ian was licensed as G3ROO in 1962. His working life was as a radio officer in the Merchant Navy, first of all “deep sea”, then cruise ships and finally on cross channel ferries. He retired in 1984 through ill health. He was the founder of Kanga Products, later being joined by Dick Pascoe, GØBPS, who eventually took over the company. Ian’s main interests have always been QRP and 160m operation. In 1993 Ian was awarded the Wortley Talbot Cup by the RSGB for “design excellence” for his “Easy to Build HF Synth”.
I am pleased to commend this new book by Ian. Immediately I looked through its contents, I saw that it had “G3ROO” written all over it. It is no-nonsense practical book – good technical information for the “non-professional” radio amateur with lots of practical ideas. It is book written for the “usual” radio amateur who has limited space and resources for antennas. There are many reliable, and workable, antennas and related items of equipment. I enjoyed seeing the “Finger ASMU”. I still have a version of this circuit built by Ian himself on a visit to my shack when I needed to test a little 160m transceiver. Typically, Ian built it in minutes ……and it worked.
Enjoy the company of Ian in this book, as I have enjoyed his company on many occasions.
George Dobbs G3RJV

ZS1S, using the call sign ZD9ZS(South Africa and S, it seemed a good combination) and Nigel Cawthorne G3TXF, using ZD9XF will be visiting Tristan da Cunha in September/October 2014, travelling to and from Cape Town on the South African Antarctic supply ship, the SA Agulhas II.



The ship is scheduled to depart on 4th September, arriving at Tristan da Cunha four to five days later depending on the weather and sea conditions. It will depart for Gough Island after a few days and return to Tristan da Cunha ready for the scheduled departure on 4th October. The duration of the return trip to Cape Town will again be four or five days.
All the extra boxes and cases have been loaded on to the ship  and we are set for the departure on Thursday.
I will be using an Elecraft K3 with an Elecraft linear amplifier up to the power limit on the island which is 250 watts.
The antennas will consist of a rotatable TA33 Jr beam on an eight meter sectional pole, a dipole for 5260 kHz, vertical dipoles for the other bands and a three element beam for six netres.
I also have a Force 12 SVD for 15 metres.
We may use a Beverage on the low bands, depending on the local situation.
This page will be updated as often as possible, however the internet access on the island is limited.
My pilot station will be Dennis ZS1AU, I would like to thank him for this generous offer.
Likewise I am very indebted to many amateur radio friends who have helped me in many ways to get this project together, Martin G3ZAY and Rob M0VFC who sowed the seed two years ago, Robert ZS1FF and Andy GM0BZS for their assistance in getting the K3 radio to Cape Town, Mike ZS1CO for the loan of the amplifier, the kind people at Elecraft and on the island, Shaun ZS1RA for the loan of the bandpass filters, my son Bruce ZS1IF for his assistance with a lot of the necesary hardware and software, Barry ZS1FJ for the loan of the SVD antenna and last but certainly not least my long suffering XYL Glynis ZR1GW for putting up with the chaos at home and hearing about the plans as they unfolded.
We have been making reasonable progress, on Tuesday morning 9th September we were doing 15 knots at about 35 degrees south and 7 degrees west and the weather on route has generally been very good with a maximum of 3 metre swells.

There have been numerous times in excess of three hours when the ship has stopped to conduct scientific experiments.
The passengers have been afforded the opportunity to visit the engine room and the bridge, below is a picture of G3TXF.



A six meter propagation beacon, ZD9SIX will be installed during the time on the island.

Mainly work portable, and enjoy working from the top of the rock of Gibraltar or by the sea with low Power radios
When Mobile use my FT 857 with a ATAS 120.
