The Patient is Doing Well

I’ve just come out of surgery for skin cancer. I’m sore and unable to do much walking. Instead I’ve been working on some things for my businesses, one of which is to repair this very expensive drone that I use at www.skyspec.com.au.

In the previous post, you can learn about what went wrong with the drone and why I’ll never buy another #Sensfly product. I’ve replaced the motor and fuse board and reassembled the drone. Some tests will be done over the next few days.

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.
