Thanks for visiting! This blog started out as a "Radio Blog" but I now post virtually anything on here relating to my (many) hobbies.

When it comes to HAM RADIO, this blog is here in the hope that some newbies will learn from either my mistakes or my successes. Experienced Hams will probably find it all very boring. I also use this blog like a personal NOTEPAD so I can refer back and recall how I sorted a problem, LOL.

I've been a Shortwave Listener of sorts for many years and I've been interested in radio since being a child growing up in the 60's. Although not blessed with great intelligence(lol), I've always been interested in the technical workings of the things around me.

In the 90's I considered taking the Amateur course at the local college but it was a very long-winded affair and I just couldn't afford the time. But now I've got more leisure time, I took the Foundation Course at West Manchester Radio Club and passed the exam on the 21st Feb 2019. I may now move on to studying for the more advanced "intermediate" stage.

My main area of interest will be Low Power and I can merge my interest in radio with my interest in hill walking. My QTH close to the West Pennine Moors means that I'm conveniently placed for many great walks and lofty take-offs. I'm also a short drive away from the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales.

Being a biker, it's easy to throw on a small rucksack loaded with my tiny IC-705 radio and a 20/40M BandHopper2 and quickly get to some interesting places for a bit of QRP DXing or SOTA work. I'm also interested in DSTAR and other digital modes. DIY Antennas is something that tickles my fancy too!

Thanks for checking out my blog - I will hopefully chat on the air with you sometime.
