Born in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, on
the 27th of November 1951. I first became interested in radio during the summer
of 1964 whilst on holiday in Essex and tuned across Radio Caroline. After the
closure of the offshore radio stations (except for
Caroline) in August 1967, Radio
Northsea International commenced broadcasting in 1970. To pick up their
transmissions from the Dutch coast I purchased my first short wave receiver
which was a BC 348. I soon became interested in listening to the amateur bands.
After spending 10 years as a short wave listener I passed the Radio Amateur's
examination. I held the callsign G8VFV until May 1985 when I passed the morse
code and became G0CAS. I first joined the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB)
in April 1971. My main interest in amateur radio is the study of propagation,
particularly aurora and sporadic E. I am now on the 'Propagation Studies
Committee' within the RSGB. I also compile a weekly solar and ionospheric report
for the society which is broadcast each Sunday via GB2RS.

latest report. I also produce a monthly magazine called
SUN MAG. I operate on all
bands from 3.5MHz (80m) to 430MHz (70cm) but concentrate on 28MHz and 50MHz. I
can be found mostly on 28.475MHz when the band is open. I also operate IRLP 5262
/ Echolink 160097 voice gateway at my home QTH. My other hobbies are the weather
and astronomy and I am a member of the Doncaster Astronomical Society. My main
interest is observing the sun but also like to go out on a clear night to
observe the heavens. I also enjoy going out for short walks and reading.
Please look through my links and I look forward to hearing from you via e-mail at [email protected] via IRLP / Echolink gateway, or live via the ionosphere.
