Bio
G'day
I first became involved in HF radio at the age of 16 when I sat for my 3rd class certificate in radio telephony (coast guard). I then became active in the CB scene of the late 70's. I built my own 4 element cubical quad and other antennas at that time.
In 1979 I first attempted to study for my novice amateur operators license- unfortunately life intervened and I never did complete it.
I later became involved in HF radio via my role as a remote area 4wd tour operator, which rekindled my interest.
I completed my foundation license in July 2008 and was on the air as an amateur radio operator at last.
Details of my equipment etc are available from the links below.
I used to run my own business specialising in remote area 4wd tag-along tours and driver training particularly 4WD, off-road, particularly for mining and exploration. I also conducted towing training, teaching people to tow vans and trailers for work and recreation.
My other interests are 4wding, soaring and photography, human rights, technology.
