    Hello friends,

    Thank you for looking at my QRZ page.

    We live in Stanwell Tops, NSW, Australia, 55km South of Sydney City. We are on a property of 5.0Acres. Our location is very popular for hang gliding, paragliding, bush walking, sightseeing and surfing.

    I am a father of four children with my lovely wife, Vicki. I am an electrician, I own and work as a technician within my electronic security business.

    My previous calls - VK2FMWA Dec 2013, VK2MWA Feb 2014 and Current Call VK2PH in September 2014 . My interest in radio started by experimenting with getting better operating range with a set of 27Mhz Walkie Talkies. This was back in 1976 at the age of 10 with my close school friend Len - VK8LS

    Other Interests include weight lifting and general fitness.

    73 for now and good DX

    In the past, this island was difficult to reach from Japan, but now that FT8 is available, it's easy to reach if you try hard. It's also a special event station for the King's coronation + RTTY.


     so please check on soundcloud ... I recorded a lot of soundclips(Many many stations)
