Located on the edge of the small farming villages of Corse and Staunton, in the West of England, in the county of Gloucestershire. Surrounded by open countryside on all sides, low noise QTH so excellent location for ham radio.
Very active on HF, prefer CW and data modes, but occasionally SSB. Have worked 258 DXCCs on HF with simple antennas: dipoles and verticals. Also do some HF and VHF contests.
Station details:
80m: Cushcraft MA8040 vertical, 300W
40m-12m: Hustler 4BTV ground mounted over radials with mods 30/17/12, 300W
17m/12m: Cushcraft A3WS 3 ele yagi 300W
10m: 4 ele yagi, 300W
6m: 5 ele yagi, 100W (summertime only)
2m: 9 ele yagi, 100W (occasionally inc WSJT Meteor Scatter)
Although active on all HF bands, tend to prefer to concentrate on one band at a time. Band of the moment is 10m: with the return of the sunpots, and having a 4 ele yagi for the first time, ireally enjoing the return of 10m. Some great QSOs already (Mar 11) inc Long Path to KH6.
QTH here is an oldchurch built in 1821.nearly 200 years old, now converted to a house. This is the reason my audio is so good, walls are very thick and the acoustics very good.
Happy to QSL via the bureau or direct, but prefer LoTW for confirming QSOs.
*** QSLs - there has been a problem with the UK bureau, I have received few cards for 3 years, but now they are all coming through at once, I have large piles of QSLs but little free time, so it will take me a while to reply. ***
