I inherited the interest in radio from watching my father repair neighbours radios on the kitchen table back in 1950's. He started in radio engineering in the 1930's and then continued in the RAF during the WW2 years, after the war he returned to the Radio & TV service industry until his death in the 1960's.
I Had various old radios as a lad and was keen short wave listener from early teens.
Worked in domestic Radio/TV industry until 1970 and then moved into medical electronics. Joined German company in 1970 (Siemens) and worked on X-ray imaging equipment until retirement in March 2002.
College and work occupied too much time and I didn't obtain my first licence until the early 1980's (G6PRF), followed by the "A" license in 1984. Lived and operated from North London up until retirement, then moved to a small village in northern part of the county of Essex, and finally in 2015 to Bradwell to be near all the family.
Achieved DXCC in 2014, some do it in a couple of months, it’s only taken me 30 yrs
Married with two children, son and daughter, both who have now left home to start own families. Other hobbies include Gardening, Photography and Sea Fishing.
