Interests and Clubs
Thanks for stopping by this page. My main interests are HF and HF propagation. Click here for new Grey-Line Propagation Research page.

I like working 10m and often experiment with new forms of compact antennas, such as magnetic loops and Crossed Field Antennas. I have also written for Ham Radio Today, RadCom and RadioActive magazines as I am a professional journalist.

I am also a member of the RSGB's Propagation Studies Committee. Click here to go to the PSC web site.

My local club is the Norfolk Amateur Radio Club.

Norwich is a very historic city 20 miles inland from the East Coast of England. It is famous for its Castle Museum, its Cathedral (pictured above), its cobbled streets, like Elm Hill, and the traditional market.

The surrounding Norfolk Broads are inland lakes that attract holidaymakers from around the UK and beyond. For more pictures of the area see www.infotechcomms.co.uk and follow the picture library link.
