I started out as a cb'er like most of us, then felt as I enjoyed DX'ing, I should consider going for my Amateur Radio licence. Since then, I have had the great pleasure in working many stations on the 3.5, 21 and 28 MHz Band's. As well as many other's on VHf, UHF and Packet Radio.

My wife Trish, at present holds a Shortwave listening number L40380. She gets much pleasure in listening to all the Hams busy Hamming around the world.

We enjoy partaking in Contesting and getting awards, We are both involved with the John Moyle Memorial Contest each year, as well as JOTA with the local scout groups.

I spend most of my spare time active on our local 2 metre and 70cm Repeater's, with the odd acassion on HF.
