I have had a licence from 1988, I enjoy several aspects or amateur radio.

I am using an icom 706 mk2 as my mobile rig, being a service engineer in south west Scotland I have time to operate HF and VHF mobile 40m is a favorite band of mine,

The shack capabilities are all receive from 500HZ to 500MHZ with transmit on all UK ham frequencies. I also have packet on VHF

My antenna's are nothing spectacular,

• 19 element 70cm beem
• 9 element cross for 2m
• try band colinier for 6/2/70cm
• 5 band vertical for HF
• g5rv for hf
• and a 100ft doublet for HF

  I use log eqf and radio amateur call book on cd for all my logging
