Hi there folks, let me introduce
myself. I'm Alan Roocroft,
QSL Manager for the Timor Sea DX Group.
I was first licenced in Adelaide in 1978
but was initially attracted to Amateur Radio before leaving school in
1948. Army service, then a move to Australia with the family
interrupted my involvement with the hobby. I bought a second hand 27
MHz Chicken Band set in 1977 and that very quickly led me back into
Amateur Radio as I joined the Elizabeth ARC and studied for my ticket.
My CB activities lasted only 3 months
but during that time, in hind sight, I'm sure I talked to Wally on
Cockatoo Island .... or it may have been someone on Koolan Island.
My 20 year service with GMH in Elizabeth came to an end when I took early
retirement in April 1993 and moved to our 10 acre property in Queensland,
and VK4AAR was born.
My main passions are DXCC (327
confirmed) and, currently, USA County Hunting (to date I have 3,041
counties out of the 3,076 total). Managing DX and IOTA operations
put a lot of added spice into the hobby for me. Some that I manage
are:-- ZK2JJ, ZK2PJ, YJ8AA, V63PD, VU3RSB, VI0ANARE, VK8MI, VK8AV/3,
VK8AN/8 and, of course, the inimitable VK8AN/6 on OC-154. Do you
need my services? Email me at [email protected]
There's no charge.
