Additionally I have also been an operator at the following Special Event Stations:

I am currently active on all bands 160m to 10m predominantly CW plus 6m, 4m, 2m SSB/CW along with some Packet/APRS and FM on 2m and 70cm. Details of the shack and antennas can be found here.

Past member of: Bishop Auckland Radio Amateurs Club (G4TTF), York Radio Club (Amateur) (G4YRC), Brimham Contest Group (G6MC).
I was heavily involved with the student radio station University Radio York when I was at York, as Chief Engineer, and was active with the local amateur radio club (G4YRC). Unfortunately efforts to start the University Radio Club again were unsuccessful, but that didn't stop me from being active on the air from my residence there.
In more recent times I have become more involved with Contesting and we have a small local group, The Vulture Squadron Contest Group M0VSQ/G9V. I also enjoy ragchewing on the HF bands, pretty much 100% CW.
Hope to see you on the air some time.

Biography
My interest in radio was sparked at the age of 14 when I was in the Scouts. I quickly got my licence with the help of the Bishop Auckland Radio Amateurs Club and started communicating on various bands as much as I could. All through school I was active with wire antennas in my parents loft space. Much revision was skipped to play radio! I went on to graduate with a 2:1 from The University of York, where I read for an MEng. (Hons) in Radio Frequency Engineering. Again much time was spent playing radio rather than working...I was heavily involved with the student radio station University Radio York when I was at York, as Chief Engineer, and was active with the local amateur radio club (G4YRC). Unfortunately efforts to start the University Radio Club again were unsuccessful, but that didn't stop me from being active on the air from my residence there.
In more recent times I have become more involved with Contesting and we have a small local group, The Vulture Squadron Contest Group M0VSQ/G9V. I also enjoy ragchewing on the HF bands, pretty much 100% CW.
Hope to see you on the air some time.
