Welcome to my web site, my name is Fred and my QTH is Durban, South Africa.(KG50LB)

Please QSL via Buro as, although slow, it is the most cost effective way to go. Should you however wish to QSL direct my details are P.O.Box 53028, Yellow wood Park, 4011, Durban, South Africa

I am married and have three daughters all of whome have taken an interest in one or more of my hobbies "poor mom! Amateur radio is one of my favorite hobbies as it covers four of my interests namely computers (soft & hardware), homebrew, astronomy and satellites. "Although I am keen on all aspects of Amateur Radio my greatest interest are DX'ing on the 50Mhz and HF bands, Satellite and Digital Coms and I will therefore focus on those aspects of the hobby. Other interests are archeology and geology and ancient history, but unfortunately my knowledge is rather limited there.

Due to my terminal weakness for motorcycles and Rotary powered sports cars I have decided to have a page dedicated to them as well. I have a Suziki GSX-F Slingshot which is my toy for getting away from it all and a Mazda RX-7 (with 13B Bridgeported Rotary Engine), which is darn fast, but has a fuel consumption that would make any oil baron smile. Great for getting to swap meets or boot sales in a hurry though !

Currently this page is still under construction but I am working hard at getting this page to a standard where it will add some value and not just be another page. Easier said than done, but I trust you will visit this site from time to time and find it worth the trip. There are many great Amateur Radio sites out there and I will try to keep you informed of new ones as I discover them. PLEASE take a look at the eQSL site whose banner is displayed at the foot of this page - This is a great alternative to Snail Mail QSL cards and cuts down on mail costs, losses and delays.
For now I will leave you with some links to some interesting Amateur Radio related sites as well as some neat Freeware sites.
