AMATEUR RADIO
Hello, my name is Brian Devlin I have been a licensed Radio Amateur (HAM) using the call sign GM0EGI since 1986. I am a member of Mid Lanark Amateur Radio Society, Chiltern DX Club and the GMDX group. I love DX-ING and CONTESTING and I HATE lists, stations who don't QSL and most of ALL DX stations that don't announce their calls or their split frequency windows regularly.
I am a member of the G-MOB, Mid Lanark Amateur Radio Societys' Contest Group ( our call sign is GM0B ) and we operated in our first contest in October 2000 when we took part in the CQWW SSB contest operating from the Island of Benbecula in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.

My Antennas are 4 Element KLM KT 34 Yagi Beam for 10, 15 and 20 metres on a 45 foot tower
A Gap Titan 8 band vertical mounted at about 8 feet above the ground
A 40 metre windom on the 40 foot tower
Various wire antennas which are put up and taken down at different times of the year.
