User info

I was very active when first licenced in the 1970s, primarily on 160m.  During this time I was a member of Verulam ARC and the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) ARC.

Frequent changes of QTH, increasingly demanding jobs and slightly later a young family led to amateur radio being reduced to RSGB membership, reading Rad Com and not much else for just less than 40 years.

I retired a couple of years ago, have rebuilt my station and antenna systems and am enjoying the advances in technology.  I am now active on all HF bands and new for me, 6m, 2m and 70cm.  I joined West Kent ARS at the end of 2017 and then CDXC later.  I have restarted my contest and DX activities.
