Welcome to my Amateur Radio Website. I have been licensed as G3VGR since May 1966 and I've enjoyed periods of HF activity mixed with various long absences from the hobby caused by work and family commitments. The home rig is an Elecraft K2, used mainly on 40 through 10 metres with a Doublet antenna. Most operation is on 40 metres CW, which is my favourite band and mode. I no longer use any other modes from home, although this may probably change when the sunspots return.

One of my interests is QRP (low power) operation, especially portable QRP using homemade equipment. I occasionally take QRP equipment abroad when on business or hiking/backpacking trips and have operated from various CEPT countries.
