My interest in radio goes way back to when I was a kid I built a crystal set and was absolutely amazed when it worked.From there I was always taking things apart to try and ascertain what made them tick.In the late 70’s I was given a CB radio and from there my interest in radio grew. I started studying for my ham licence about ten years ago but like most people I was confused on what you had to know and did not have to know.Time to study was the biggest factor due to owning a business but every now and again I would pick up a book and study.I have always experimented with antennas trying to perfect each one I built and have made some good ones and not so good over the years.Butisn’t that what radio is all about experimenting ? I achieved my NLOACP in March 2003 with thanks to Ron Bertrand and his Radio and Electronics School.For any budding Hams I highly recommend it because you are put on the right path of what to study.There is a link on the Links Page. As of January 1st 2004 because Morse is being dropped in the requirement for a VK licence us Novice Limited will become Full Novice.So see you on 15 Meters or 10 Meters maybe. I have joined the WIA and our local Amateur Radio Club because I think that is important for the survival of Amateur Radio and also for meeting the local operators.   I will update this picture at a later date when I can get one. From the top left is a Uniden UH-012,Yaesu FT227RB,Magnum DeltaForce,Yaesu FP-301,Yaesu-FT301,Kenpro KR400,Kenwood AT200. I have had quite a few QSO’s on the FT-227 with local hams and visiting Hams from interstate and overseas.    I qsl on eQSL.cc & my details can also be found on QRZ.com
