Been a While

The last few years have been incredibly hectic. I completed some very high level projects in the corporate world in Sydney while rebuilding my businesses. On April 6 I decided to retire from working for others and to concentrate on my business interests. I runs several-

Olsen’s Tours and Training
LearntoTow.com.au
Truweigh Mobile Caravan and Vehicle Weighing and
Skyspec Drone Services

So I don’t have as much time for radio as I would like.

Anyway, I’ve been working in the remotest parts of Australia and have now returned, so hopefully I can do a few more radio projects now.

Thanks for the comments.

BTW, if you are wondering why there is now no Twitter feed in the right column, it’s because of Elongated Muskrat’s lies about free speech while banning words and supporting transphobes. All he wants is your money. He can go get X’d.

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. Since then I’ve completed standard call (VK4MDX) and finally Advanced (VK4KIM / VK2KMI).
Details of my equipment etc are available from the links below.

I, once again run a business specialising in remote area 4wd tag-along tours and driver training particularly 4WD, off-road, particularly for mining and exploration. I also conduct towing training, teaching people to tow vans and trailers for work and recreation.

I’m a keen competition glider pilot and GA pilot. My other interests are 4wding, soaring and photography, human rights, technology.
